Hi Guys,

:
: You'll need full paths, not just the input file name -- ie, it is possible
: to have "foobar.o" appear multiple times like
:
: gcc -o blah foobar.o frob/foobar.o
:
: Which brings up questions like what are valid characters -- filenames could
: have embedded spaces, control chars, etc etc.
Bah humbug!
You are right though. The scheme would also fail to produce
comparable binaries if the build tree were moved to a different
location.
: I mildly prefer the sequence #s approach. But I can live with either.
Sequence IDs seem to be the simpler solution overall, so lets go with
that. Alan - I assume that you will submit a full blown patch ?
Cheers
Nick
