Hi, For regular users of gcc who want to delve into the insides(guts) of the compiler, it is disappointing that there exist no complete specification of internals in a phase order manner.
Precisely, stuffs like GENERIC, GIMPLE, RTL, gas(inline assembly), GCC extensions internals, ... and gnu's own debugging tied to gcc (if such exist nowadays), ... are not documented in a specification driven way. Has gcc become proprietory/commercial ? Or has it become illegal to publish specification models of gcc internals ? Does this make the product sell less ? Curious as an old gcc afficianado. :-| p.s. Higher then GENERIC also sounds desirable. Sincerely, Seima Rao.
