Huh? Pdp11 is (unless overridden by -mint32) a target with 16-bit
ints.
oo, didn't know that. The documentation is incorrect.
doc/portability.texi says
'The main goal of GCC was to make a good, fast compiler for machines in
the class that the GNU system aims to run on: 32-bit machines that address
8-bit bytes and have several general registers.'
er, ok that doesn't say the target has 32bit ints. My mistake. The gnu
coding conventions also say (from autoconf)
'However, don't make any effort to cater to the possibility that an
@code{int} will be less than 32 bits. We don't support 16-bit machines
in GNU.'
... so I didn't :)
I know how to dink the gcov declarations to make them work on 16-bit int
ABIs. Should we?
I'm still none the wiser about Honza's 64 bit issue.
