Dear All If this is annopropriate here, please accept my apologies
There are several topics that I wish to be covered a bit on the Wiki (or some other documentations), mostly related to configuration (and autoconf, with which I am not very familiar, especially in the context of GCC whose configuration is quite complex). 0. I am not sure to understand exactly the steps (and commands to run) when touching to a configure.ac file... I made an educated guess which happens to work most of the time. (In particular it seems that autconf2.60 works even if 2.59 is required) 1. How to add a pass on Gimple/SSA (this is something I know how) which can be disabled at GCC configuration time, ie add a pass in a source tree-FOO.c (and of course in passes.c) which can be disabled by a --disable-FOO configure switch? When enabled, the pass adds a new -fdo-FOO flag (which should be absent if disabled) at the newly built gcc & cc1 runtime. 2. How to add an external library (I actually am thinking of mysqlclient or gdbm or dl -for dlopen- and probably the Parma Polyhedral library) which can be disabled by such a --disable-FOO configure switch, and which, when enabled at configure with --enable-FOO, is actually checked for (in particular, availability of header files, test of minimal features); When enabled I want these new libraries to be linked into the newly built cc1 and gcc. PS. I'm just beginning to work on adding more global static analysis passes into GCC. -- Basile STARYNKEVITCH http://starynkevitch.net/Basile/ email: basile<at>starynkevitch<dot>net aliases: basile<at>tunes<dot>org = bstarynk<at>nerim<dot>net 8, rue de la Faïencerie, 92340 Bourg La Reine, France
