| <h3 class="section">22.5 Source Files Containing Type Information</h3> |
| <a name="index-generated-files"></a> |
| <a name="index-files_002c-generated"></a> |
| |
| <p>Whenever you add <code>GTY</code> markers to a source file that previously |
| had none, or create a new source file containing <code>GTY</code> markers, |
| there are three things you need to do: |
| </p> |
| <ol> |
| <li> You need to add the file to the list of source files the type |
| machinery scans. There are four cases: |
| |
| <ol> |
| <li> For a back-end file, this is usually done |
| automatically; if not, you should add it to <code>target_gtfiles</code> in |
| the appropriate port’s entries in <samp>config.gcc</samp>. |
| |
| </li><li> For files shared by all front ends, add the filename to the |
| <code>GTFILES</code> variable in <samp>Makefile.in</samp>. |
| |
| </li><li> For files that are part of one front end, add the filename to the |
| <code>gtfiles</code> variable defined in the appropriate |
| <samp>config-lang.in</samp>. |
| Headers should appear before non-headers in this list. |
| |
| </li><li> For files that are part of some but not all front ends, add the |
| filename to the <code>gtfiles</code> variable of <em>all</em> the front ends |
| that use it. |
| </li></ol> |
| |
| </li><li> If the file was a header file, you’ll need to check that it’s included |
| in the right place to be visible to the generated files. For a back-end |
| header file, this should be done automatically. For a front-end header |
| file, it needs to be included by the same file that includes |
| <samp>gtype-<var>lang</var>.h</samp>. For other header files, it needs to be |
| included in <samp>gtype-desc.c</samp>, which is a generated file, so add it to |
| <code>ifiles</code> in <code>open_base_file</code> in <samp>gengtype.c</samp>. |
| |
| <p>For source files that aren’t header files, the machinery will generate a |
| header file that should be included in the source file you just changed. |
| The file will be called <samp>gt-<var>path</var>.h</samp> where <var>path</var> is the |
| pathname relative to the <samp>gcc</samp> directory with slashes replaced by |
| <tt>-</tt>, so for example the header file to be included in |
| <samp>cp/parser.c</samp> is called <samp>gt-cp-parser.c</samp>. The |
| generated header file should be included after everything else in the |
| source file. Don’t forget to mention this file as a dependency in the |
| <samp>Makefile</samp>! |
| </p> |
| </li></ol> |
| |
| <p>For language frontends, there is another file that needs to be included |
| somewhere. It will be called <samp>gtype-<var>lang</var>.h</samp>, where |
| <var>lang</var> is the name of the subdirectory the language is contained in. |
| </p> |
| <p>Plugins can add additional root tables. Run the <code>gengtype</code> |
| utility in plugin mode as <code>gengtype -P pluginout.h <var>source-dir</var> |
| <var>file-list</var> <var>plugin*.c</var></code> with your plugin files |
| <var>plugin*.c</var> using <code>GTY</code> to generate the <var>pluginout.h</var> file. |
| The GCC build tree is needed to be present in that mode. |
