I was wondering what the status of the compile server branch was. I
haven't seen anything about it on the list for a while.
Mike Stump and I are still plugging away at it. Currently I'm working
on compling gcc using the compile server. I can compile all of
cpp*.c (except cppdefault.c which takes extra option) on GNU/Linux,
using a single execution of the server, as long optimization is turned
off. The immediate problem with optimization is with inline function
definitions, and how duplicate_decls clobbers old declarations.
Debugging (wih Dwarf2) seems to work. Also, with two small test files,
the server now generates identical assembler out as the non-server
compiler, which is highly desirable. This isn't the case for the larger
cpp*.o files, and I need to understand the issue.
This isn't checked in yet.
The work on replacing location_t by fileline will also benefit the
compile-server.
