suggest that Andrew or Richard commit the patch after the last final tweaks from your side. So, at this point I have: - Made the modifications described above. - Updated the web pages on LGS. - Produced the diff you requested of the changes since the last patch: http://www.LimeGreenSocks/gcc/g02.zip - Produced a new .patch file: http://www.LimeGreenSocks/gcc/extend08.zip Unless I hear otherwise, I will post the updated patch (with a corrected changelog) on this thread ~24 hours from this post. It can then be committed as per usual. dw

one dialect will likely fail if compiled using another. This keeps the machine-specific details with the already machine-specific compile options. While this option only applies to i386 currently, this text leaves the option open should some other platform make use of it in the future. Unless someone says otherwise, I'm calling this question resolved. dw

use assembler directives that expand to more +space in the object file than is needed for a single instruction. +If this happens then the assembler produces a diagnostic saying that +a label is unreachable. "produces" -> "may produce" ? Changed. +Sometimes when writing inline asm code, you need to make an operand be a @code{asm} Changed. Hurray, and that's it for now. Whew. If you send an updated patch, I'd appreciate if you could also just send a diff between the file as it is now (after the current patch applied) and after those updates so that we can see what just changed in between the two reviews. I haven't attached a diff yet. Rather than fill everyone's inbox with partial updates, I'll wait until we've agreed on the questions above. If someone just can't wait, the web pages mentioned above have all the items I marked as Changed. BTW, do you want the standard "diff" output? Or diff -u? As I wrote above, I approve if you make these changes -- or reply noting where and why you did not -- and Andrew and Richard ack. I've tried to make it clear when I made a change, and when I disagreed with your proposed change. If my explanations as to why I didn't make a change aren't clear or if you still disagree, let me know. There are several points where I'm looking for your opinion or clarification before proceeding. I'd also like to make one last plug for having you at least page thru one of the output formats (such as the html I linked to at the top). While looking at the actual .texi lets you catch things like @ifhtml and @cindex errors, I believe structure and formatting are clearer in html. What's more, I feel confident saying more people will view the html text than the texi, so a little extra effort to make sure the html is correct is merited. Thanks for your feedback, dw

re moving towards it sometimes wouldn't be required anymore, but that comment was made about a year ago and I don't know if anything has actually changed, so: assuming this is "still" required, are copyright assignment papers in place with the FSF for these changes? I can'
