In the course of working on unit tests in the 'parallel' branch, I came across this inline comment in config/gen/makefiles.pm:
# Why is this here? I'd think this information belongs # in the CFLAGS.in file. -- A.D. March 12, 2004 if ( $conf->data->get('cpuarch') =~ /sun4|sparc64/ ) { # CFLAGS entries must be left-aligned. print {$CFLAGS} <<"EOF"; src/jit_cpu.c -{-Wcast-align} # lots of noise! src/nci.c -{-Wstrict-prototypes} # lots of noise! EOF } My guess is that this code is not found in the CFLAGS.in template file because it is platform-specific. There is no platform- or OS-specific code in CFLAGS.in. So, is there any reason why we shouldn't delete the comment? Thank you very much. kid51
