Re: Backticks (`) in makefile
Hi Tapu,
>So you mean to say c++filt is the only c++ specific utility?.
Most of those binutil utilities are C++ tools as well, because they are
general purpose.
The c++filt is the only one that is C++-centric, since it is a demangler
for several C++ name mangling conventions.
>We want to upgrade the same to c++ cross compilation.
I recommend upgrading all of binutil en masse, instead of piecemeal
utility-by-utility upgrade.
I also recommend to use the latest-and-greatest binutil.
>One more thing. Do we have to modify backend files we already have for C
Compiler to make it work for C++ Compiler also. I mean target.md, target.c
and target.h files. What I understand from Stallman is that we need not.
Richard Stallman is a guru amongst gurus, and I defer to his
expertise. Even Ada guru (and MULTICS advocate) Paul Stachour has highly
praised Stallman.
The only situation that I can think of that you'd have to modify your
backend files is if they have bugs in them.
Sincerely,
