Subject: Remaining builtin_types (potential flag day)
Date: Wed, 28 Jul 2004 20:00:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4107CCED.3040900@gnu.org> (raw)

Hello,

There are currently ~1400 occurances of /builtin_type_/ in GDB's source. 
  While some are ok (builtin_type_ieee...*) many are not (typically 
needing a conversion to builtin_type()).

For the moment we can let these remaining uses be migrated incrementally 
(chance has it someone will find an interface change (1)).  However, 
eventually, well have to change all remaining references.  Given their 
magnitude, this suggests a "Flag Day".

Andrew

(1) I wonder if the way languages create their primitive type vector can 
be simplified - I implemented a mindless vector->vector conversion.
