GCC low-level runtime library

GCC low-level runtime library

[Petar Penchev]

Hello All,
I am looking for a document describing "GCC low-level runtime library" in a
more detailed
way than it is done in "GCC internals".
I will be very grateful if somebody gives a link or a document :)))

Regards
Petar

The internals manual is the most detailed document there is for libgcc.  If a
more detailed document existed, we would merge it into the internals manual.

Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are,
by definition, not smart enough to debug it.

Peter, perhaps it would help the effort to improve the manual if you
describe what information that you need is missing from the current
internals manual.

At chapter 4 there is a brief description of GCC low-level lib, but it looks
incomplete.
For example integer subroutines. It would be nice if there is a description
of naming convention used for functions
names, some of the functions names are really hard to be interpreted and I
had to browse the GCC's source and to read it. Unfortunately it is really
hard to read a source written by somebody else :)) and it takes time. Which
is the worst :). I think that functions must be grouped by their
functionality , not in alphabetical order.
