I have created the plugins branch (rev. 143989). As I offered before, I will help maintain the branch synchronized with mainline and with patch reviews. The branch can be checked out with
$ svn co svn://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc/branches/plugins As usual, I created a wiki page for the branch (http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/plugins) and patched svn.html to document the branch. Before I can accept patches, however, I need to make sure that everyone has copyright assignments on file. I know that Taras, Basile and Le-Chun do. Sean and Grigori, do you folks have copyright papers already? I understand that Le-Chun has an initial patch for the branch based on the API we've been discussing. If everyone agrees, I will review that for inclusion. Gerald, is this patch to svn.html OK? I see that there are some stale entries in there. I'll clean them up with a follow-up patch. Thanks. Diego.
