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’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’ll need to check that it’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’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. +</p> + +<hr> +<div class="header"> +<p> +Next: <a href="Invoking-the-garbage-collector.html#Invoking-the-garbage-collector" accesskey="n" rel="next">Invoking the garbage collector</a>, Previous: <a href="GGC-Roots.html#GGC-Roots" accesskey="p" rel="previous">GGC Roots</a>, Up: <a href="Type-Information.html#Type-Information" accesskey="u" rel="up">Type Information</a> [<a href="index.html#SEC_Contents" title="Table of contents" rel="contents">Contents</a>][<a href="Option-Index.html#Option-Index" title="Index" rel="index">Index</a>]</p> +</div> + + + +</body> +</html> |
