[gnu.g++] Some feedback needed.

ronald@cvms.uucp (03/25/89)

I need some feedback for improving my attempt at COFF support for g++.

How many people reading this group are using the GNU System V COFF
encapsulation with g++?

How many with COFF linkers cannot assemble the following line with their
native assemblers?

		.section .ctors,"x"

How many with COFF linkers that don't support link directive files?
(look at the ld section in your support tools manual to see)

Will anyone who has attempted to provide SDB+ support contact me?  I
would like to coordinate all efforts!

Note: when using the PhoneNet address, use all the routing information!
Csuchico has a mis-configured MMDF and the full address is the only
way to get mail to me through CSNET.

...one design goal should be to use as few features of COFF as needed.
E.g., I would rather have to use `collect' than use the COFF .section
codes for ctor/dtor munging. The less stuff you need to change, the
better.
