Bug ID: 116499
Summary: [modules] Replace CMI term with BMI in documentation,
commit messages, etc
Product: gcc
Version: 15.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c++
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: boris at kolpackov dot net
Target Milestone: ---
During the early days of the C++ modules development two different terms were
used to refer to the compiled module interface file: BMI (binary/built module
interface) and CMI (compiled module interface). Lately, however, the BMI term
appears to have won: WG21/SG15 settled on in in its discussions/terminology and
Clang now uses it in its documentation:
https://clang.llvm.org/docs/StandardCPlusPlusModules.html
Perhaps it's time for GCC to switch as well to avoid confusion?
