In the course of working on unit tests in the 'parallel' branch, I came
across this inline comment in config/gen/makefiles.pm:
# Why is this here? I'd think this information belongs
# in the CFLAGS.in file. -- A.D. March 12, 2004
if ( $conf->data->get('cpuarch') =~ /sun4|sparc64/ ) {
# CFLAGS entries must be left-aligned.
print {$CFLAGS} <<"EOF";
src/jit_cpu.c -{-Wcast-align} # lots of noise!
src/nci.c -{-Wstrict-prototypes} # lots of noise!
EOF
}
My guess is that this code is not found in the CFLAGS.in template file
because it is platform-specific. There is no platform- or OS-specific
code in CFLAGS.in.
So, is there any reason why we shouldn't delete the comment?
Thank you very much.
