Hi Mark,
I don't believe there is a GCC 4.3 project page to merge the work that
you folks did on CALL_EXPRs and TYPE_ARG_TYPEs. Would one of you please
create a Wiki page for that?
What would you suggest me to do for missing bits? Specifically, most backends
with the exception of x86 are broken because I haven't converted uses of
TYPE_ARG_TYPEs in those backends. The ARM port was broken at the time of branch
creation. The Java frontend uses a flag within the TREE_LIST object that makes
up TYPE_ARG_TYPEs, so it is blocking the propsed merge. (Java maintainers are
planning to fix this in future.)
So, Sandra's CALL_EXPEs stuff may be ready for merge, but my TYPE_ARG_TYPE stuff
has a somewhat long way to go.
Thanks,
Kazu Hirata
