This README file is copied into the directory for GCC-only header files
|
|
|
|
|
when fixincludes is run by the makefile for GCC.

Many of the files in this directory were automatically edited from the
|
|
|
|
|
standard system header files by the fixincludes process. They are
|
|
|
|
|
system-specific, and will not work on any other kind of system. They
|
|
|
|
|
are also not part of GCC. The reason we have to do this is because
|
|
|
|
|
GCC requires ANSI C headers and many vendors supply ANSI-incompatible
|
|
|
|
|
headers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Because this is an automated process, sometimes headers get "fixed"
|
|
|
|
|
that do not, strictly speaking, need a fix. As long as nothing is broken
|
|
|
|
|
by the process, it is just an unfortunate collateral inconvenience.
|
|
|
|
|
We would like to rectify it, if it is not "too inconvenient".
