Hello, i've an idea to improve the report of -fdump-tree-XXXX using the HTML format for its output.
I recommend XHTML-1.0 (26-Jan-2000) from http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/ Note: HTML-4.01 (24-Dec-1999) from http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/ is very popular but very old and it's not XML-1.0 (16-Aug-2006) format from http://www.w3.org/TR/xml/ implying that HTML-4.01 is hardful for some parsers. The proposal is instead of gcc $CFLAGS -fdump-tree-ssa file.c gcc $CFLAGS -fdump-tree-gimple file.c to use the -html option for -fdump-tree-XXXX like so gcc $CFLAGS -html -fdump-tree-ssa file.c gcc $CFLAGS -html -fdump-tree-gimple file.c and they will generate the files file.c.tXX.ssa.html and file.c.tXX.gimple.html instead of file.c.tXX.ssa and file.c.tXX.gimple Why? There are a good reason for ".ssa" principally. 1. To use "charset=utf-8" or &#number; from HTML for greek symbols. 2. Is better to use subscripted numbers than numbers. 3. There is a greek symbol for PHI-function ( e.g. # X_1 = PHI <X_4(0), X_15(1)>; ) 4. Underlining or middlelining the instructions, operands or labels marked like dead by example. 5. Etc. The visual representation in HTML is more effective for humans than in text. Sincerely, J.C. Pizarro :)
