- Subject: tips for understanding the GCC codebase?
I have read the GCC manuals (including the internals manual) but GCC is
still next to impossible to understand.
For example, I have looked everywhere and I STILL cant figure out how to
tell GCC that the i[34567]86-pc-mingw target supports TLS and __thread.
And I cant figure out how to tell GCC which variables can and cant be
marked __thread on win32 (to be fair, I dont know myself what is and isnt
valid when it comes to TLS on win32 :)
And I cant figure out how to tell GCC how to spit out the right code for
these variables :(
