For packages of GCC I would like to see a common location where plugins can be installed; currently a path to the plugin has to be given on the command line, which is likely to be different for different installations. What about -fplugin=<name> (without the .so) meaning to search for the plugin in a default location like <gcclibdir>/plugins for the plugin? -fplugin=<name>.so could also be used, but maybe would be ambiguous looking in the current dir, or the plugin dir.
I did posted on gcc-patches@ many times a patch providing exactly that feature, but nobody reviewed it.
Last post of the patch is http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2010-03/msg00644.html
Given Matthias wish, I dare ping again that patch.... Cheers. -- Basile STARYNKEVITCH http://starynkevitch.net/Basile/ email: basile<at>starynkevitch<dot>net mobile: +33 6 8501 2359 8, rue de la Faiencerie, 92340 Bourg La Reine, France *** opinions {are only mines, sont seulement les miennes} ***
