| 8 | Top Level Source Directory | |
| 9 | ************************** | |
| 10 | ||
| 11 | The top level source directory in a GCC distribution contains several | |
| 12 | files and directories that are shared with other software | |
| 13 | distributions such as that of GNU Binutils. It also contains several | |
| 14 | subdirectories that contain parts of GCC and its runtime libraries: | |
| 15 | ||
| 16 | :samp:`c++tools` | |
| 17 | Contains the sources for the g++-mapper-server, a tool used with | |
| 18 | C++ modules. | |
| 19 | ||
| 20 | :samp:`config` | |
| 21 | Autoconf macros and Makefile fragments used throughout the tree. | |
| 22 | ||
| 23 | :samp:`contrib` | |
| 24 | Contributed scripts that may be found useful in conjunction with GCC. | |
| 25 | ||
| 26 | :samp:`fixincludes` | |
| 27 | The support for fixing system headers to work with GCC. See | |
| 28 | :samp:`fixincludes/README` for more information. The headers fixed by | |
| 29 | this mechanism are installed in :samp:`{libsubdir}/include-fixed`. | |
| 30 | Along with those headers, :samp:`README-fixinc` is also installed, as | |
| 31 | :samp:`{libsubdir}/include-fixed/README`. | |
| 32 | ||
| 33 | :samp:`gcc` | |
| 34 | The main sources of GCC itself (except for runtime libraries), | |
| 35 | including optimizers, support for different target architectures, | |
| 36 | language front ends, and testsuites. See :ref:`gcc-directory`, for details. | |
| 37 | ||
| 38 | :samp:`gnattools` | |
| 39 | Support tools for GNAT. | |
| 40 | ||
| 41 | :samp:`gotools` | |
| 42 | Support tools for Go. | |
| 43 | ||
| 44 | :samp:`include` | |
| 45 | Headers for the ``libiberty`` library. | |
| 46 | ||
| 47 | :samp:`intl` | |
| 48 | GNU ``libintl``, from GNU ``gettext``, for systems which do not | |
| 49 | include it in ``libc``. | |
| 50 | ||
| 51 | :samp:`libada` | |
| 52 | The Ada runtime library. | |
| 53 | ||
| 54 | :samp:`libatomic` | |
| 55 | The runtime support library for atomic operations (e.g. for ``__sync`` | |
| 56 | and ``__atomic``). | |
| 57 | ||
| 58 | :samp:`libbacktrace` | |
| 59 | A library that allows gcc to produce backtraces when it crashes. | |
| 60 | ||
| 61 | :samp:`libcc1` | |
| 62 | A library that allows gdb to make use of the compiler. | |
| 63 | ||
| 64 | :samp:`libcody` | |
| 65 | A compiler dynamism library to allow communication between compilers and | |
| 66 | build systems, for purposes such as C++ modules. | |
| 67 | ||
| 68 | :samp:`libcpp` | |
| 69 | The C preprocessor library. | |
| 70 | ||
| 71 | :samp:`libdecnumber` | |
| 72 | The Decimal Float support library. | |
| 73 | ||
| 74 | :samp:`libffi` | |
| 75 | The ``libffi`` library, used as part of the Go runtime library. | |
| 76 | ||
| 77 | :samp:`libgcc` | |

| 90 | :samp:`libiberty` | |
| 91 | The ``libiberty`` library, used for portability and for some | |
| 92 | generally useful data structures and algorithms. See :ref:`libiberty:top`, for more information | |
