[Bug driver/21112] New: Xassebler and Xpreprocessor have never (?) worked

[wilson at gcc dot gnu dot org]

The Xassembler and Xpreprocessor options don't work.  They accidentally pass
options to the linker in addition to the assembler and preprocessor.

For example, on linux, the assembler ignores the -D option, but the linker does
not.  If I try using -Xassembler to pass the -D option to the assembler, I get a
linker error.
aretha$ ./xgcc -B./ -Xassembler -D tmp.c
/usr/bin/ld: unrecognized option '-D'
/usr/bin/ld: use the --help option for usage information
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Adding the -v option confirms that -D got passed to both the assembler and the
linker, which is wrong.

The -Xpreprocessor option has the same implementation as -Xassembler, and hence
the same problem.

Confirmed.  -Xassebler did not exist in 3.3.3 but -Xpreprocessor did and works as expected.

Mine.

Andrew Pinski claims Xpreprocessor was in gcc-3.3.3 and works, but I can find no
evidence to support that.  It does not show up in a grep of FSF gcc-3.3.x
sources.  Also, the original patch that added Xassembler also added
Xpreprocessor, so I do not see how one could have existed before the other.

Fixed on mainline.

I do not believe that there is any regression here, and hence I do not believe
that the patch needs to be applied to the gcc-3.4 or gcc-4.0 branches.  I'll
leave this open for now in case anyone wants to disagree with me.

Woops I was wrong, I was looking at it wrongly.  I must have missed the warning:
gcc: unrecognized option `-Xpreprocessor'

Since everyone agrees there is no regression, I am closing.
