Re: [Mspgcc-users] mailing list administrivia

Thanks for the responses.

(1) has been implemented.  Unsubscribed posters will promptly get a response
saying:

mspgcc-users does not accept postings from non-members.  Please
resubmit your post after subscribing at:
https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mspgcc-users

If you think that your messages are being rejected in error, contact
the mailing list owner at mspgcc-users-ow...@lists.sourceforge.net.

If you wish to file a bug report, please enter a ticket at:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=42303atid=432701

I hope that will be a good compromise.

The user whose Boxbe account provoked (2) has not resubscribed AFAIK, though
I did try to forward this to him/her in explanation.

Signatures attached using application/pgp-signature should now pass.  I'm
afraid to make more significant changes to the content filters since what's
there now seems to mostly work.

The list's reply-to behavior was also raised.  Until now, the Reply-To has
rewritten to appear to come from the list, so that all responses go to the
list.  This improves the visibility of discussions by avoiding loss of
answers that others might find interesting.  However, it makes it fairly
difficult (at least using gmail) to respond directly to the poster: one must
hand-copy the sender's address.

As of this message, I'm trying the alternative: direct replies should go to
the poster, while group reply (reply-all) should go to both.  This is the
default and recommended behavior for mailman lists.

We may lose a little public discussion until people get used to this, but I
do want to give it a try.  If you have strong preferences for the existing
behavior, speak up.  (Using group-reply, of course.)

We now return you to your regularly scheduled bug reports.

 Two points:

 1) I propose to change the list management so that email to it from people
 who are not subscribed is immediately bounced (saying that the list requires
 subscription for posting), rather than put into a pending bucket where Chris
 or I have to look at it.  If it's worth our time to read, it's worth the
 sender's time to subscribe so they can see responses.

 2) Anybody who subscribes from an address that implements a screening
 filter like Boxbe so that mail to the list results in a request to add
 yourself to the recipient's Guest List will be summarily unsubscribed.
 Maybe I'll send an email saying why.  I won't bother to add myself to your
 guest list to tell you that it's happened.  Manage your spam without
 inconveniencing me, thank you very much.

 Comments on either of these?

[Mspgcc-users] Right way to contribute patches to msp430-libc?

2010-11-19 Thread Ben Ransford
Hello,

What's the right way to contribute patches to msp430-libc-ti_20101114,
the version that mspgcc4's build script builds by default?  For now,
I've modified mspgcc4/do-libc.sh to optionally apply a patch after
downloading the libc tarball from SourceForge, but I'd like to submit
my changes as far upstream as possible.

FWIW, the msp430-libc patch I'd like to contribute makes the header
files compatible with LLVM+clang, which now has a workable MSP430
backend.  The most significant change gives address-pinned globals
like P1IN external linkage so that they don't get emitted as common
symbols.  AFAICT mspgcc is violating the C standard by *not* emitting
them as common symbols now, given the way they're declared.

Re: [Mspgcc-users] Right way to contribute patches to msp430-libc?

2010-11-19 Thread Peter Bigot
Create a Bugs tracker ticket on the mspgcc4 sourceforge project and attach
your patch to that.  If the changes are to the headers themselves, I may
have to push them upstream to TI.

[Mspgcc-users] __no_init equivalent?

2010-11-19 Thread Mark J. Blair
I'm porting some TI example code which uses the __no_init keyword, and I'm 
having trouble figuring out whether there's an equivalent for it in GCC, and/or 
if it's something I can simply ignore/omit. Assuming that I correctly 
understand what __no_init does in IAR, will GCC automagically do the right 
thing for any global variables without initializers?
