Deprecation of -I- and -iquote

Deprecation of -I- and -iquote

[Rodolfo Lima]

I wonder what's the current state of -I- vs. -iquote, is there anyone
interested in fixing the fact that -iquote doesn't replace -I-
functionality, needed for out-of-source precompiled header utilization?

The relevant bug is 19541 - need another option to support what -I- did
just besides -iquote, and there's a patch floating around that adds
-ignore-source-dir flag
(http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2007-03/msg00653.html). What else is
needed move this forward?

Rodolfo Lima

AFAIK the patch is still waiting for a review.  I don't know what the
hangup is.  Perhaps it needs more frequent pings.

So, whoever is responsible for this, please step forward :) I'll test
the patch when I get home, but I have no knowledge of gcc's internals to
make a thorough check. The message gcc output, saying that -iquote
should be used instead of -I- is just plain wrong. Seeing that 4.5.0
release is just around the corner, is it feasible to have this patch
committed into 4.5 branch?
