Btw, I wouldn't necessarily try to parse exactly those dump format - streamlining it for easier parsing would be ok, especially for the basic-block markers. There was a request multiple times to make it easier to adjust a function cut&pasted from a dump produced by -fdump-tree to valid C (thus accepted by gcc). One annoying road-block is how we dump labels and goto destinations. >> 2.On my computer, it seems both -fdump-tree-gimple and >> -fdump-tree-gimple-raw dump the code to <filename>.004t.gimple. >> tf -fdump-tree-all is used, only the result of -fdump-tree-gimple will be >> presented. >> Does gcc behave this way on purpose? > > I think so. -raw is a dump modifier while -all selects '-gimple' and > all others. > > Richard. > >> >> >> >> —— >> Best regards, >> Yinsong Xue >>
