Hi,
the next [patch 3/5] will change the libcc1.so API. I am not sure if the API
change gets approved that way but for such case:
(1) We really need to change GCC_FE_VERSION_0 -> GCC_FE_VERSION_1, this
feature is there for this purpose. That is [patch 2/5].
(2) Currently GDB does only dlopen("libcc1.so") and then depending on which
libcc1.so version it would find first it would succeed/fail.
I guess it is more convenient to do dlopen("libcc1.so.1") instead
(where ".1"=".x" corresponds to GCC_FE_VERSION_x).
That is this patch (with x=0).
GCC_C_FE_LIBCC is used only by GDB.
(3) Currently there is no backward or forward compatibility although there
could be one implemented. Personally I think the 'compile' feature is
still in experimental stage so that it is OK to require last releases.
At least in Fedora we can keep GDB<->GCC in sync.
GDB counterpart:
