The fast-fixincludes system now, to the best of our collective belief,
|
||
|
|
correctly implements exactly the same functionality as the previous
|
||
|
|
fixincludes/fixinc.* shell scripts. On most systems where many fixes
|
||
|
|
are required, this is accomplished by putting most of the functionality
|
||
|
|
into a binary executable. On systems that had dedicated fixinc.* shell
|
||
|
|
scripts, those scripts are still used by default until they can be
|
||
|
|
converted.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
KNOWN PROBLEMS
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There may be some systems on which the fixinc binary program appears
|
||
|
|
to be functional, but fails to work. Current thinking is that this
|
||
|
|
is due to some new process limitations (fork() calls) on those
|
||
|
|
systems. If you are experiencing this problem, then copy the script
|
||
|
|
${src}/gcc/fixinc/inclhack.sh into ${builddir}/gcc/fixinc.sh and run
|
||
|
|
make again.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Oh, yes, please also report the problem with a description of
|
||
|
|
the failure mode (symptoms) and the output from:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
egcs/config.guess
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
TO DO
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* fixincl needs to be converted to use gcc's system.h, libiberty, and
|
||
|
|
other portability frameworks.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* FIXME: XXX needs to have tests for file descriptors > 10 or 12 added
|
||
|
|
to detect/solve XXX.

THEORY OF OPS
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
inclhack.def contains a list of potential fixes to be applied to the
|
||
|
|
system headers. This file is processed by autogen to make both a
|
||
|
|
shell script and a binary to apply those fixes to your headers.
|
||
|
|
If the binary cannot be built, the shell version will be used instead.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If mkfixinc.sh determines that your system needs machine-specific
|
||
|
|
fixes that have not yet been applied to inclhack.def, it will install
|
||
|
|
and use the current fixinc.* for that system instead.
