gcc specs file format

2002-09-21 Thread Paul D. DeRocco

The GNUPro Compiler Tools document mentions this file, and the
gcc -dumpspecs option shows me what's in it. But where is its format
documented? It's quite incomprehensible on its own.

In the gcc info file: info gcc .

RE: gcc specs file format

2002-09-21 Thread Paul D. DeRocco

Sorry, but I don't see it. I grepped all the gcc.info* files (indeed, all
the *.info* files) for specs, and read the matches in my editor. I found a
bunch of mentions of the specs file, but no explanation of it.

I found a pretty detailed explanation inside 'info gcc' by typing 
'g Spec Files'.  There's a link to it as part of the description of 
-dumpspecs.  I have gcc 3.2 installed, but the text looks like it's been
around since at least 2.9.5.

Actually, I couldn't find this in 2.9.5, oddly enough.

So, it looks like you may need to have the experimental gcc 3.2 installed
if you want to read about this.

To be quite honest, I don't know what half of it means.  The other
half I can tell is preprocessor directives which are passed to gcc
based on what flags are used on the command line.  To place further
inquiries into this, might I suggest [EMAIL PROTECTED]?  They
would be the experts on all things gcc...

Cheers,
Nicholas
