I have an observation I'd like to confirm: I missed the earlier email traffic about "c99" etc - and all that sort of stuff. In all cases is is my belief that the *ONLY* compiler that is used to build OpenOCD is GCC, and nothing but GCC, period. I suspect GCC is of some recent vintage - ie: 3.4 (cygwin) or later on all supported platforms. Is that a correct observation? Linux - Obvious. Cygwin - Obvious. MingW - Obvious. MacOSX - It's GCC correct?
Yes, it's GCC. At least for now. Soon it will be clang.
Is there any other compiler that is *really* used? If so, please name it. I don't think there is.
There have been attempts to use VC++.
If it is GCC, then tell me, why is C99 (a 10 year old standard) not thedefault? Why is all GNU features not the default?
We're moving towards C99 being the default, but using GNU extensions is a bit much. I'd like to at least leave the option of another compiler.
Why "pretend" something else is going to be used? -Duane. _______________________________________________ Openocd-development mailing list Openocd-development@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/openocd-development
