GCC 16 is progressing through Stage 4 development with regression fixing described as slow. The project aims for a release candidate around mid-April, with 14 P1 regressions still needing to reach zero, alongside 586 P2 and 190 P3 regressions. Notable features in GCC 16 include an Algol 68 front-end, C++20 as the default standard, AMD Zen 6 support, Intel Nova Lake AVX10.2/APX support, Picolibc embedded C library support, higher default LTO partition counts, and ARM64 function multi-versioning now stable.
