Well, I was trying to avoid "merging" flags. Are there any examples of other such flags that are merged? The thing is that the "merge" done right now is really just concatenating existing flags. It doesn't work to set Init(1) and Init(0) in two different .opt files, so it wouldn't work to set LangEnabledBy in different files for the same option. One option is to parse LangEnabledBy before merging (which actually happens in optc-gen.awk), which seems ugly, but probably is the most straightforward solution. Would that be ok? Do you see a better alternative? Cheers, Manuel. > -- > Joseph S. Myers > jos...@codesourcery.com
