Hi everybody, I can see for some time now that mingw/cygwin/binutils is progressing a lot in the PE format support/ relocation/unicode startup but mingw32ce that belongs to cygwin/mingw family doesn't benefit from it.
For instance here is what happens in other mingw families : http://www.mail-archive.com/cygwin-patc...@cygwin.com/msg04531.html Pedro it's been a long time you haven't posted here or usually you only post a few words and disappears for month. What do you think of current cegcc status ? Do you still have enough time ? From what I read on mingw/cygwin forums there were some issues in startup code for instance and I suppose bugs are also in our trunk. What I think(I might be wrong) is to allow cegcc to benefit from winsup progress so I think it would be important to : 1) Update binutils to the recent version (easily done by us) 2) Try to review exisiting patch used for cegcc-4.4 and try to clean up a bit. For instance thinks like inside t-wince-pe should go elsewhere (not sure about that maybe someone could comment) # Version for mingw32ce SHLIB_LC = -lmingw32 -lmingwex -lceoldname -lcoredll # Version for cegcc #SHLIB_LC = -lc -lcoredll # This should go somewhere else. # We are using SjLj EH. EH_MODEL = sjlj And what about about dwarf2 EH model ? Is is possible to use it on arm-pe ? Is it relevant ? 3) Update mingw to get latest fixes Now I might be completely wrong and maybe cegcc is perfect and has no issues but I think a clear status would be important. PS : I have cc'ed people working on improving pe support with GNU tools because they might have some ideas about how to improve things, help collaboration and so on... I would like to help more and do everything by myself, but unfortunately I don't have time nor skills.
