| Ben Cheng | 4cedbb0 | 2013-08-23 16:48:20 -0700 | [diff] [blame^] | 1 | This README file is copied into the directory for GCC-only header files |
| 2 | when fixincludes is run by the makefile for GCC. |
| 3 | |
| 4 | Many of the files in this directory were automatically edited from the |
| 5 | standard system header files by the fixincludes process. They are |
| 6 | system-specific, and will not work on any other kind of system. They |
| 7 | are also not part of GCC. The reason we have to do this is because |
| 8 | GCC requires ANSI C headers and many vendors supply ANSI-incompatible |
| 9 | headers. |
| 10 | |
| 11 | Because this is an automated process, sometimes headers get "fixed" |
| 12 | that do not, strictly speaking, need a fix. As long as nothing is broken |
| 13 | by the process, it is just an unfortunate collateral inconvenience. |
| 14 | We would like to rectify it, if it is not "too inconvenient". |
