As such, it is intimately tied to the source version of the other half... This is not the same as a complete compiler such as ghdl (mcode version) which has no dependence on the gcc sources, and will build with any reasonably compatible pair of Ada and C compilers (no dependence on C++ yet and I doubt there ever will be) : it might be feasible to eliminate the mcode version's dependence on C altogether. There is only one (ghdl-gcc) file that requires C++ : that as you can probably guess is ortho-lang.c which is the entire C/C++ adapter between ghdl (front end) and gcc (back end). Up to gcc4.8 it was pure C, and only changed to C++ for compatibility with gcc4.8. - Brian _______________________________________________ Ghdl-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/ghdl-discuss
