I'll submit a request outside of this thread later on then. Thanks for the
info!
As far as processing time goes, will that impact getting this patch committed?
My understanding is end of August for new features for gcc-4.4.
It would depend on if any of the original patch code remains. If so,
probably a copyright assignment for the original author would be
required as well (at least that is my understanding).
That's an interesting thought then. I largely left his code intact while I used
this patch throughout gcc-3.2, 3.3, and 3.4 (I simply updated it to apply to the
subsequent releases in the 3.x series). I only converted it to DFA in gcc-4.0,
which was largely a complete rewrite, using the original patch as a guide to
learn how DFA changed things around. Plus, the core information comes from the
Vr10000 manual anyways, available off www.necel.com. Considering the very
original patch was posted once to gcc-patches years ago for gcc-3.0
consideration, I would be surprised if the e-mail address of that submission
still goes to him.
Thoughts?
