Hi,
here's a preliminary manpage for romcc. Some details need to be added, e.g. the author, the extact license, bug-report address etc. Who wrote romcc, and which license applies? There's a COPYING file in the directory, so it's probably the GPL. Version 2 or v2 and later?
Eric Biederman wrote it. ebiederman@lnxi.com GPL v2 is safe to assume. Eric?
Yes. GPL v2, like the rest of LinuxBIOS.
Btw, is romcc still maintained? The romcc.c file says RELEASE_DATE "15 November 2004".
I guess it is considered "stable" for what it does. Want to take it over? ;-)
Yes. It is pretty stable. There are some rare bugs. But right now it has been easier to work around them then to fix them :(
Also, the test-suite doesn't build for me (I simply typed 'make'):
[...] <built-in>:1.0: simple_test26.c:20.26: warning: used: %mm7 <built-in>:1.0: simple_test26.c:20.26: too few registers make: *** [tests/simple_test26.S-O2-mmmx] Error 1 Uwe Hermann
Odd. I know a few of tests are expected to fail that way, but I thought I had them marked. I would have to look into it in more detail to give a better answer.
