+<h3 class="section">23.5 Source Files Containing Type Information</h3>
+<a name="index-generated-files"></a>
+<a name="index-files_002c-generated"></a>
+
+<p>Whenever you add <code>GTY</code> markers to a source file that previously
+had none, or create a new source file containing <code>GTY</code> markers,
+there are three things you need to do:
+</p>
+<ol>
+<li> You need to add the file to the list of source files the type
+machinery scans. There are four cases:
+
+<ol>
+<li> For a back-end file, this is usually done
+automatically; if not, you should add it to <code>target_gtfiles</code> in
+the appropriate port&rsquo;s entries in <samp>config.gcc</samp>.
+
+</li><li> For files shared by all front ends, add the filename to the
+<code>GTFILES</code> variable in <samp>Makefile.in</samp>.
+
+</li><li> For files that are part of one front end, add the filename to the
+<code>gtfiles</code> variable defined in the appropriate
+<samp>config-lang.in</samp>.
+Headers should appear before non-headers in this list.
+
+</li><li> For files that are part of some but not all front ends, add the
+filename to the <code>gtfiles</code> variable of <em>all</em> the front ends
+that use it.
+</li></ol>
+
+</li><li> If the file was a header file, you&rsquo;ll need to check that it&rsquo;s included
+in the right place to be visible to the generated files. For a back-end
+header file, this should be done automatically. For a front-end header
+file, it needs to be included by the same file that includes
+<samp>gtype-<var>lang</var>.h</samp>. For other header files, it needs to be
+included in <samp>gtype-desc.cc</samp>, which is a generated file, so add it to
+<code>ifiles</code> in <code>open_base_file</code> in <samp>gengtype.cc</samp>.
+
+<p>For source files that aren&rsquo;t header files, the machinery will generate a
+header file that should be included in the source file you just changed.
+The file will be called <samp>gt-<var>path</var>.h</samp> where <var>path</var> is the
+pathname relative to the <samp>gcc</samp> directory with slashes replaced by
+<tt>-</tt>, so for example the header file to be included in
+<samp>cp/parser.cc</samp> is called <samp>gt-cp-parser.h</samp>. The
+generated header file should be included after everything else in the
+source file.
+</p>
+</li></ol>
+
+<p>For language frontends, there is another file that needs to be included
+somewhere. It will be called <samp>gtype-<var>lang</var>.h</samp>, where
+<var>lang</var> is the name of the subdirectory the language is contained in.
+</p>
+<p>Plugins can add additional root tables. Run the <code>gengtype</code>
+utility in plugin mode as <code>gengtype -P pluginout.h <var>source-dir</var>
+<var>file-list</var> <var>plugin*.c</var></code> with your plugin files
+<var>plugin*.c</var> using <code>GTY</code> to generate the <var>pluginout.h</var> file.
+The GCC build tree is needed to be present in that mode.
