[PATCH] Darwin: homogenize spelling of macOS
This patch homogenizes to some extent the use of “Mac OS X” or “OS X” or “Mac OS” in the gcc/ folder to “macOS”, which is the modern way of writing it. It is not a global replacement though, and each use was audited. - When referring to specific versions that used the “OS X” or “Mac OS” as their name, it was kept. - All uses referring to powerpc*-apple-darwin* were kept as-is, because those versions all predate the change to “macOS”. - I did not touch Ada or D - I did not touch testsuite comments Tested by building on x86_64-apple-darwin, and generating the docs. OK to push? FX 0001-Darwin-homogenize-spelling-of-macOS.patch Description: Binary data
