In general, merging process should not be very difficult, but we need to
|
|
track GCC-specific patches carefully. Here is a general list of actions
|
|
required to perform the merge:
|
|
|
|
* Checkout recent GCC tree.
|
|
* Run merge.sh script from the libffi directory.
|
|
* Add new files and remove old files if needed.
|
|
* Apply all needed GCC-specific patches to libffi (note that some of
|
|
them might be already included to upstream). The list of these patches
|
|
is stored into LOCAL_PATCHES file. May need to re-run autogen.sh to
|
|
regenerate configure and Makefile.in files.
|
|
* Send your patches for review to GCC Patches Mailing List (gcc-patches@gcc.gnu.org).
|
|
* Update LOCAL_PATCHES file when you've committed the whole patch set with new revisions numbers.
