Hi, I am working with gcc 4.4.2. I installed the same on my machine using the following command lines.
1)To extract in a new directory,i used, mkdir gcc1 cd gcc1 tar -xvf gcc-4.4.2.tar.gz set srcdir = "/home/swati/gcc1/gcc-4.4.2" set objdir = "/home/swati/gcc1/gcc-bin" set insdir = "/home/swati/gcc1//usr/local" mkdir -p srcdir mkdir -p objdir mkdir -p insdir 2)Then i configured it in objdir directory using, /home/swati/gcc1/gcc-4.4.2/configure --prefix=$insdir make bootstrap -j3 make install (in root) 3)Then compiled using, export PATH=$insdir/bin/:$PATH gcc helloworld.c -v and finally compiled a helloworld.c file using this version and it worked fine. Now, i wish to modify the source code of gcc. So am working on the c-parser.c file to introduce an exception generation on detection of 'if' statement. For it ,i used folowing code static jmp_buf buf; void exception_handler() { FILE *fp1; fp1=fopen("/home/swati/t.txt","w"); fprintf(fp1,"'if' detected\n"); longjmp(buf,1); } static void c_parser_if_statement (c_parser *parser) { FILE *fp; if (!setjmp(buf) ) { exception_handler(); } else { fp=fopen("/home/swati/t.txt","a"); fprintf(fp,"\t\t\t\tBack to if block"); } } Now , i recompiled the gcc using following commands, 1)Changed to path to build directory, cd /home/swati/newgcc/objdir/build-i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc/build/ 2) Configured with --disable-bootstrap modification. /home/swati/newgcc/gcc-4.4.2/configure --disable-bootstrap--prefix=$insdir make all-gcc 3)Selected newly configured gcc and tried to compile helloworld.c file. export PATH=$insdir/bin/:$PATH gcc helloworld.c -v However, the changes (t.txt creation and statements insertion within it) were not reflected and i got an error: "source is more recent than the executable" Am i working with the correct file and were the installation and compilation steps correct. Also was i correct in attempt to modify the source code Please help. Swati Get your preferred Email name! Now you can @ymail.com and @rocketmail.com. http://mail.promotions.yahoo.com/newdomains/aa/
