| <h3 class="section">6.2 Top Level Source Directory</h3> |
| |
| <p>The top level source directory in a GCC distribution contains several |
| files and directories that are shared with other software |
| distributions such as that of GNU Binutils. It also contains several |
| subdirectories that contain parts of GCC and its runtime libraries: |
| </p> |
| <dl compact="compact"> |
| <dt><samp>boehm-gc</samp></dt> |
| <dd><p>The Boehm conservative garbage collector, used as part of the Java |
| runtime library. |
| </p> |
| </dd> |
| <dt><samp>config</samp></dt> |
| <dd><p>Autoconf macros and Makefile fragments used throughout the tree. |
| </p> |
| </dd> |
| <dt><samp>contrib</samp></dt> |
| <dd><p>Contributed scripts that may be found useful in conjunction with GCC. |
| One of these, <samp>contrib/texi2pod.pl</samp>, is used to generate man |
| pages from Texinfo manuals as part of the GCC build process. |
| </p> |
| </dd> |
| <dt><samp>fixincludes</samp></dt> |
| <dd><p>The support for fixing system headers to work with GCC. See |
| <samp>fixincludes/README</samp> for more information. The headers fixed by |
| this mechanism are installed in <samp><var>libsubdir</var>/include-fixed</samp>. |
| Along with those headers, <samp>README-fixinc</samp> is also installed, as |
| <samp><var>libsubdir</var>/include-fixed/README</samp>. |
| </p> |
| </dd> |
| <dt><samp>gcc</samp></dt> |
| <dd><p>The main sources of GCC itself (except for runtime libraries), |
| including optimizers, support for different target architectures, |
| language front ends, and testsuites. See <a href="gcc-Directory.html#gcc-Directory">The |
| <samp>gcc</samp> Subdirectory</a>, for details. |
| </p> |

| and <code>__atomic</code>). |

| <dd><p>The GNU OpenMP runtime library. |
| </p> |
| </dd> |
| <dt><samp>libiberty</samp></dt> |
| <dd><p>The <code>libiberty</code> library, used for portability and for some |
| generally useful data structures and algorithms. See <a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libiberty/index.html#Top">Introduction</a> in <cite><small>GNU</small> libiberty</cite>, for more information |
| about this library. |

| </dd> |
| <dt><samp>zlib</samp></dt> |
| <dd><p>The <code>zlib</code> compression library, used by the Java front end, as |
| part of the Java runtime library, and for compressing and uncompressing |
| GCC’s intermediate language in LTO object files. |
| </p></dd> |
| </dl> |
| |
| <p>The build system in the top level directory, including how recursion |
| into subdirectories works and how building runtime libraries for |
| multilibs is handled, is documented in a separate manual, included |
| with GNU Binutils. See <a href="../configure/index.html#Top">GNU configure and build system</a> in <cite>The GNU configure and build system</cite>, for details. |
