There isn't a final decision yet. One of the maintainers of the preprocessor in GCC is adamant that preprocessing involves losing information, and even though I have changes that prove otherwise, they actually preserve more information than what the integrated preprocessor passes to the front end, so we end up with different debugging information either way. The solution I've been using so far is to force distcc to not use localhost in gcc bootstraps, by means of a distcc wrapper that transforms localhost to `uname -n` in $DISTCC_HOSTS. I'm not happy about it, but I haven't had more time to spend trying to get the integrated preprocessor and the separate one to agree on the same debugging information. -- Alexandre Oliva Enjoy Guarana', see http://www.ic.unicamp.br/~oliva/ Red Hat GCC Developer aoliva@{redhat.com, gcc.gnu.org} CS PhD student at IC-Unicamp oliva@{lsd.ic.unicamp.br, gnu.org} Free Software Evangelist Professional serial bug killer _______________________________________________ distcc mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.samba.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/distcc
