gcc newbie and open projects

2005-08-24 Thread Brian Makin
Hello all! I would very much like to contribute to the gcc project and as such have been monitoring the gcc list and perusing the documentation. One project in particular looks interesting. Make insn-recog.c use a byte-coded DFA. Richard Henderson and I started this back in 1999 but never fini

bitmaps in gcc

2005-10-14 Thread Brian Makin
In reference to this on the wiki. Bitmaps, also called sparse bit sets, are implemented using a linked list with a cache. This is probably not the most time-efficient representation, and it is not unusual for bitmap functions to show up high on the execution profile. Bitmaps are used for many thi

non mainstream hardware.

2005-10-28 Thread Brian Makin
Is there any need for people providing access to non mainstream/commercial hardware? I realize mostly everyone working on gcc has access to an x86 of some form but perhaps not other machines. I am probably setting up a dec alpha running openvms shortly and could probably arrange a 32bit sun if a

I'd hate to see generated documented discounted so quickly. Especially if the alternative is no documentation. I'd note the QT docs as a great example of embedded comments and auto generated documentation done very well.

Re: Splay Tree

2006-09-28 Thread Brian Makin
I looked at the splay tree code in revision 106584. It doesn't appear to actually be doing a top down splay. It is performing a top down partition of the tree but without the splay step. This should cause some cases to perform quite badly. I'm pretty sure my original patch does the top down spl
