Hi Eric,
there's a call to expand_decl in gcc-interface/utils.c, which is used only
for setting up some field of CONST_DECLs. I'm working on removing this
function, and removing that call from utils.c is seemingly working just
fine. It came in with :
2005-11-14 Thomas Quinot <qui...@adacore.com>
Olivier Hainque <hain...@adacore.com>
Eric Botcazou <ebotca...@adacore.com>
...
(create_var_decl): call expand_decl for CONST_DECLs, to set MODE, ALIGN
SIZE and SIZE_UNIT which we need for later back-annotations.
I don't understand the reference to "back-annotations" so I don't really
know if this need was meanwhile solved differently, or if it's still
necessary. As said, there are no testcases in GCC (or in the Ada compiler
itself) that would exhibit any problem with that setup removed.
Can you think of any or would a patch removing that call be approved?
I.e. the patch below (regstrapped on x86_64-linux).
Ciao,
Michael.
