Here is a general list of actions +required to perform the merge: + +* Checkout recent GCC tree. +* Run merge.sh script from the libffi directory. +* Add new files and remove old files if needed. +* Apply all needed GCC-specific patches to libffi (note that some of + them might be already included to upstream). The list of these patches + is stored into LOCAL_PATCHES file. May need to re-run autogen.sh to + regenerate configure and Makefile.in files. +* Send your patches for review to GCC Patches Mailing List (gcc-patches@gcc.gnu.org). +* Update LOCAL_PATCHES file when you've committed the whole patch set with new revisions numbers. |
