gperf?

gperf?

[Gary Thomas]

Pardon my ignorance, but where can I find 'gperf' [source] which
is used in the latest builds?

My libg++ addon for egcs has a gperf.

It is part of libg++.  See ftp.yggdrasil.com/private/hjl for a version
patched for use with egcs.

	I had the same trouble recently; try obtaining the patch for gperf
available from

ftp://egcs.cygnus.com/pub/egcs/infrastructure/

	and install it.  That should solve the problem...

gperf?

[Theodore C. Belding]

Another question:

When I tried to build the most recent egcs from CVS, on i686-pc-linux-gnu
(RedHat x86 Linux 5.1) I get the following error, after fixing my autoconf
problem:

% ../configure --prefix=/usr/local/egcs-19981130
[...]
% make
[...]
gcc -c  -DIN_GCC    -g -O2  -DHAVE_CONFIG_H     -I. -I../../gcc

   -k1,3,$ ../../gcc/c-parse.gperf >tmp-gperf.h
gperf: invalid option -- F

I'm using GNU gperf 2.7; should I be using some other version of gperf, or
is there some other problem? Thanks!

Since I am making libg++ now, if you can provide a small test case,
I will see what I can do when I find the time.

We use gperf extensively where I work.  I had a lot of trouble getting
cperf to work properly, and finally gave up on that.  Gperf also has
bugs, but we have been able to work around them so far.

If someone would like to fix gperf, I can probably dig up some problem
cases.

Well, it was.  It doesn't support -E at least.  I havn't done a
complete cross-check but that one I ran into myself.

But they can use cperf.  It's a drop-in replacement.

That's great, so I don't have to do this.  I should have some patches
somewhere in case you want to start doing this.

If made standalone, it should eventually be an FSF package that lives
on ftp.gnu.org with the rest.

That doesn't obviate the need for gperf. People and egcs use gperf.

libg++ is slowly being abandoned, and it never was the right place for a
tool similar to bison and flex. How about making it stand-alone, and
putting it into the infrastructure/ directory?

I volunteer to do this.

There's cperf at ftp.gnu.org.  It's an equivalent program, written in C.

gperf is useful outside of gcc and egcs. Why is gperf not distributed as
a stand-alone program, like bison and flex ?
