[Bug other/44331] New: suggest drop fixincludes oneprocess and just maintain twoprocess

[jay dot krell at cornell dot edu]

Fixincludes has two ways of doing things: "oneprocess" and "twoprocess".
It appears that oneprocess is more often used, presumably slightly faster, but
that twoprocess is more portable and would work everywhere oneprocess is used.


Suggest just keeping one portable form and removing the other.
Less code to maintain and less autoconfing is generally better, unless the
advantages are sufficient to motivate the extra work and reduced portability.

Created an attachment (id=20778)
 --> (http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=20778&action=view)
Something like the attached, which is strictly removal of code (plus "inlining"
of "twoprocess" in Makefile.in)

This would also address part of
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=44252 (VMS).
