Hello All, I have a few subscribers to a french speaking GCC MELT mailing list on gcc-melt-fre...@googlegroups.com
Since I have several potential non-french speaking but english-speaking users, I am considering to switch to an english list. However, my intuition is that a list for plugins developers (including GCC MELT extensions developers) could be more generally useful. Those developers have a different point of view than those at g...@gcc.gnu.*. On gcc@ list, we discuss how to change and improve GCC internals. On a plugin list, we would discuss how to develop GCC plugins (& MELT extensions). The point of view is becoming slightly different: plugin developpers take the GCC plugin API as granted (whatever definition of the GCC API you take, provided it is usable from inside a plugin to an unmodified GCC). Of course, I could very easily setup a list like gcc-m...@googlegroups.com to discuss GCC MELT in english, but I would believe that a more general "plugin" focussed list, hosted inside gcc.gnu.org, would be very useful. What do people think? Should plugin developers post their GCC plugins questions on the existing g...@gcc.gnu.* list, or should we (ideally) make a new gcc-plug...@gcc.gnu.org list? A typical GCC plugin question would be perhaps: where should my plugin insert its pass (with detailed and specific explanations of the plugin goals)?
