1 | This README file is copied into the directory for GCC-only header files |
2 | when fixincludes is run by the makefile for GCC. | |

4 | Many of the files in this directory were automatically edited from the |
5 | standard system header files by the fixincludes process. They are | |
6 | system-specific, and will not work on any other kind of system. They | |
7 | are also not part of GCC. The reason we have to do this is because | |
8 | GCC requires ANSI C headers and many vendors supply ANSI-incompatible | |
9 | headers. | |
10 | ||
11 | Because this is an automated process, sometimes headers get "fixed" | |
12 | that do not, strictly speaking, need a fix. As long as nothing is broken | |
13 | by the process, it is just an unfortunate collateral inconvenience. | |
14 | We would like to rectify it, if it is not "too inconvenient". |
