This directory contains the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC). The GNU Compiler Collection is free software. See the files whose names start with COPYING for copying permission. The manuals, and some of the runtime libraries, are under different terms; see the individual source files for details. The directory INSTALL contains copies of the installation information as HTML and plain text. The source of this information is gcc/doc/install.texi. The installation information includes details of what is included in the GCC sources and what files GCC installs. See the file gcc/doc/gcc.texi (together with other files that it includes) for usage and porting information. An online readable version of the manual is in the files gcc/doc/gcc.info*. See http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs/ for how to report bugs usefully. Copyright years on GCC source files may be listed using range notation, e.g., 1987-2012, indicating that every year in the range, inclusive, is a copyrightable year that could otherwise be listed individually.

When using bit-packed arrays, the compiler creates new array subtypes of 1-bit component indexed by integers. The existing routine checks the index subtype to find the min/max values. Bit-packed arrays being indexed by integers, the routines gives up as returning the maximum possible integer carries no useful information. This change adds a simple max_value routine that can evaluate very simple expressions by substituting variables by their min/max value. Bit-packed array subtypes are currently declared as: subtype bp_array is packed_bytes1 (0 .. integer((1 * Var + 7) / 8 - 1)); The simple max_value evaluator handles the bare minimum for this expression pattern. gcc/ada/ChangeLog: * gcc-interface/utils.cc (max_value): New. * gcc-interface/gigi.h (max_value): New. * gcc-interface/decl.cc (gnat_to_gnu_entity) <E_Array_Subtype>: When computing gnu_min/gnu_max, try to use max_value if there is an initial expression.
