Hello.
During the GCC 2.7.2/2.8.1 timeframe I sent emails to this list (or
some similar list) with patches. I have found evidence of the
patches being applied:
http://hg.sourceforge.jp/view/cbc/GCC/file/ec4cbc2ac877/gcc/FSFChangeLog
527 Sun Oct 4 08:37:36 1998 Paul Edwards <a...@matra.com.au>
528
529 * configure.in (AC_CHECK_HEADERS): Add sys/types.h and sys/stat.h.
530 * gcc.c (sys/types.h, sys/stat.h): Only include if exist.
531 * cccp.c, toplev.c: Likewise.
But those entries do not appear in the Changelog of GCC 3.4.6,
even though it goes back to 1991.
I suspect it might have been due to ECGS.
So my question is - is there a non-ECGS archive of some sort
that would allow me to find out who modified gcc.c with that
change documented above (I didn't have write access to the
repository) and is there a list that my circa 1998 messages
would be on so that I can find out who I was communicating
with at the time? My emails from the time were lost due to a
stolen computer.
Thanks. Paul.
