I would just like to say that I think this is a fantastic patch
that will help open GCC to many more use cases. The fact that
plugins don't work on Windows has been a sore spot, IMO.
I for one am very happy that this make gdb's libcc1 plugin
a viable option for Windows. Puts us one step closer to the
long term plan of making GDB always use GCC for C/C++
expression parsing/evaluation. Yay. :-)
Thanks,
Pedro Alves
