Re: Cleanup of fixinc


Bruce,

I like your version better. It makes things look cleaner. Were you planning to commit a version of the patch?

Here is a patch to finish the removal of some obsoleted systems from the
fixinc files. I removed tests against systems that are no longer supported
by GCC. At present, the fixinc files containted entries for the i860, Sony
NewsOS, DG/UX, spur, Ultrix, ARM/RISCiX, A/UX, and m88k-*-sysv3, and x86-osf1*.

Great. The smaller fixinc is, the better. Especially for obsolete
cruft. The attached patch is slightly different in that it uses the
"here string" construct I added a few years ago. :-).

It would be nice if there were some convenient way to determine
which tests were not being used without looking for text like, "Ultrix"
in the fix's comments.... [[It is possible, for example, to make
a specially hacked version that would report which fixes were applied.
Once you were certain of having such reports from all supported systems,
you could determine which were never applied. Not today.]]
