As we generally only fixinclude pieces of the C runtime and the C runtime is required to build GCC this is not true. fixincludes may of course match in random header files as well, but that is not intended in general. > 2) IIRC several years ago there were plans to abandon fixincludes and to > do the header fixing in realtime on every gcc run, what happened to the > pertaining efforts? That would surely be slow. Richard.
