Patch for "GCC" etc. terminology in manual
- To: <gcc-patches at gcc dot gnu dot org>
- Subject: Patch for "GCC" etc. terminology in manual
- From: "Joseph S. Myers" <jsm28 at cam dot ac dot uk>
- Date: Mon, 25 Jun 2001 01:28:00 +0100 (BST)
This patch attempts to make the manual more consistent in how it uses
terms such as "GCC" and "GNU C" (the former being the GNU Compiler
Collection or the C compiler, the latter being a language dialect).
(More could probably be cleaned up; the manual could do with more
experienced developers reading it and correcting anything that seems
unclear, odd, inconsistent, incomplete or out of date.) It passes
"make info" and "make dvi". Applied to mainline and branch.
