Subject: Modifications in GCC

Hi all:

  What happend with the stabs, topic?
  I applied the patchs to 2.7.2.1, the difference is remarkable!

  Some time ago I asked to DJ about making a unofitial GCC version, he said me 
that was OK. So I asked to some of my friends in the list and nobody helped 
with that. Now I got the sources of GCC 2.7.2.1 (I couldn't before because of 
the size of the file and the needed time and disk to install and compile it) 
and I applied:

1) The stabs and file extention patch.
2) The section patch.
  
  These patchs are very important and represents only a few changes in the 
go32.h configuation files, the advantages are:

1) With this patch will stop getting reports about:
    I can debug a .cpp file ...
   And the difference of behavior of GDB with stabs is huge!

2) The great problem about locking memory, how to make that and all the 
problems around it are reduced dramatically.

  I have the gcc, cc1 and cc1plus files patched and compiled. Can I upload it 
to DJ or some other must do it?

  Is there any test to:

1) Check the full functionallity of a new compiled GCC.
2) Test the performance

  And another thing:

  There are a problem that can confuse to the people if stabs isn't the default 
debug info:

gcc -g3 -gstabs+ ....

  Selects COFF debug info level 3 and not STABS+ level 3, I was confused with 
that so I guess that other can get confused too.
