| 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. |
