Kernel ABI headers step #1: Gathering information

From: Kyle Moffett
Date: Tue Sep 13 2005 - 01:12:08 EST


As part of the kernel ABI headers project, I need to gather information on what
GCC provides on a variety of architectures and configurations. I am looking for
people with a variety of architectures and distributions to run the script below
and (privately, please, no need to flood the list!) email me the output. I'm
only interested in archs supported by linux, obviously :-D. This should help me
to see if there are any global CPP features that can be relied upon across the
whole spectrum. If you have any especially obtuse GCC/platform combination, I
would really appreciate it if you could do this, as otherwise I'm unlikely to
be able to locate all of said GCC combinations. (The reason I get the kernel
version is so I'm able to tie GCC archs to kernel archs). Once I've got a
decent database of per-arch features/macros/etc, I'll try to post it online
somewhere for all to access. Thanks for all your help!

Cheers,
Kyle Moffett

There are two ways of constructing a software design. One way is to make it so
simple that there are obviously no deficiencies. And the other way is to make
it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. The first method is
far more difficult.
