The __pic__ and __PIC__ macros are currently defined scattershot in target configuration files, some using specs %{pic:-D...} notation and some using builtin_define() from TARGET_*_CPP_BUILTINS. It would be better to define them in a consistent fashion (__pic__ only if -fpic, both if -fPIC) in c-cppbuiltin.c. See bug 6123 for examples of what this would help.
I'm tasking myself with this, but I'm not going to do it until 4.1. -- Summary: define __pic__ and/or __PIC__ in c-cppbuiltins.c instead of scattershot in target config Product: gcc Version: unknown Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: c AssignedTo: zack at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: zack at gcc dot gnu dot org CC: gcc-bugs at gcc dot gnu dot org GCC target triplet: *-*-* OtherBugsDependingO 6123 nThis: http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18382
