I'm trying to help Tim Josling get the old gcc cobol front end code working with the gcc trunk again. I'm struggling with trying to learn usage of tree macros while dealing with code dating from about gcc 3.2 or so.
I have the following lines of code: tree parm_decl; ... /* the following two lines give a gcc error: lvalue required as left operand of assignment */ DECL_SOURCE_FILE (parm_decl) = local_input_filename; DECL_SOURCE_LINE (parm_decl) = lineno; Apparently this code worked at one time. I know I can decode the macros and deal with the "real" variables but what is the correct way to set the parm_decl members? I haven't found the right spot in "GCC Compiler Collection Internals" yet and I'm getting dizzy back tracking macro definitions. Any hints would be appreciated. Thanks. -Tom
