> I am trying to get gcc 3.x to work correctly on Linux/mips. Sorry, that didn't answer my question either. You need to explain what problem your patch solves, in detail, and how it solves it, so that even I, not as smart as you, can understand it. I had an excellent professor in college who gave a lecture on the first day of every class to introduce his perspective. He said that many students think that their job is to learn as much as possible, but that's not it at all. Instead, he pointed out, the job of a student is to make it as easy as possible for the grader to give them an `A'. That means don't write in red pencil on both sides of a piece of paper torn from a spiral bound notebook -- LaTeX it. Don't just write code that works; include comments that make it obvious it works. Don't skip 10 obvious steps in the proof; the grader may not be as smart as you. I cannot match the flair with which the original lecture was delivered, but that was the idea. Here, I am the grader. -- Mark Mitchell mark@codesourcery.com CodeSourcery, LLC http://www.codesourcery.com
