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.

The recent change to undo the tree_code_type/tree_code_length
excessive duplication apparently broke building the Linux kernel
plugin. While it is certainly desirable that GCC plugins are built
with the same compiler as GCC has been built and with the same options
(at least the important ones), it might be hard to arrange that,
e.g. if gcc is built using a cross-compiler but the plugin then built
natively, or GCC isn't bootstrapped for other reasons, or just as in
the kernel case they were building the plugin with -std=gnu++11 while
the bootstrapped GCC has been built without any such option and so with
whatever the compiler defaulted to.
For C++17 and later tree_code_{type,length} are UNIQUE symbols with
those assembler names, while for C++11/14 they were
_ZL14tree_code_type and _ZL16tree_code_length.
The following patch uses a comdat var for those even for C++11/14
as suggested by Maciej Cencora. Relying on weak attribute is not an
option because not all hosts support it and there are non-GNU system
compilers. While we could use it unconditionally,
I think defining a template just to make it comdat is weird, and
the compiler itself is always built with the same compiler.
Plugins, being separate shared libraries, will have a separate copy of
the arrays if they are ODR-used in the plugin, so there is not a big
deal if e.g. cc1plus uses tree_code_type while plugin uses
_ZN19tree_code_type_tmplILi0EE14tree_code_typeE or vice versa.
