I converted this patch because I thought it would be helpful after reading this message from Giovanni Bajo: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2005-03/msg00552.html > > I had provided this patch in the past, but was rejected: > http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2004-06/msg00313.html > > I never had time to split, rewrite in tex, and update it as requested. > Janis recently incorporated some parts into the internal manuals, but I > believe that we still nedd provide a "tutorial for GCC testcase > writing".

>From my point of view the wiki is THE place for documentation. It is very easy to put new things in, edit or correct it. I'm familiar with it but I never used texinfo nor did I ever sent a patch. I look daily at the wiki and check if somebody puts spam in it. I would also propose to make the wiki the primary source of documentation and derive a static html page from it which could be downloaded and used locally. I volunteer to convert the 104 page RTL pdf into wiki pages (if Daniel sends it to me). I also could convert parts of the ggcinternals manual into wiki pages. But only if there is a consensus about this being the way to go. Michael Cieslinski
