Hey Asma,
thank you for your help, but acctually, I do not change the uml1.c itself, I
changed in a text file that contains a set of c instructions and I include this
file in my uml1.c
Why do you do that? Just from a style perspective, you shouldn't include
C instructions that way into your language hooks. Obviously, that works,
but you should better work with functions (in separate source files) and
call these functions then from your language hooks.
So, if I do not reconfigure and make, the compiler will not compile the uml1.c
again, it will keep the same uml1.o (with old c instructions took from the old
text file).
Your makefile (make-lang.in) misses some dependencies. Your uml1.o rule
should look like this:
uml1.o: uml1.c <GCC stuff> <your_text_file_containing_instructions>
...
Then uml1.o will be re-compiled once you modify your text file ...
any idea ? I can not add to make coomand a list of files to recompile ? or can I
add the c instructions of text.txt to my uml1.c using another way ?
Yes, by using functions and let the linker finally do the work for you.
Just as an example: you would create a source file for your language
hooks (my_hook.c) and a source file for your C instructions doing the
GENERIC stuff (my_generic.c). You'll then compile them both separately
and link them together into <your_compiler>, e.g. gcc my_hook.o
my_generic.o <other_stuff> -o <your_compiler>
For a reference, please look at the sample front-ends you already used
so far. The gcalc front-end uses the approach described above ...
Hope that helps,
Andi
