Pedro Alves and I sent some message on the list that indicate where we think some of the problem areas are.
Clearly, something must be wrong with those messages, as there appears to be little attention being payed to them.
Can someone help me by telling me what I'm missing ?
Am I sending the wrong information ?
Am I talking to the wrong public ?
Am I boring and should I just shut up ? :-)
The maintainers are always busy; it sometimes takes a long time and a
couple of tries to get a response. Patience is very important.
Yes, I hope that the cegcc project can grow into "the" toolchain for wince development withFixes for WinCE don't normally get a lot of attention, because there's a relatively small user base.
FWIW, I skimmed some of the patches that have been sent; #ifdefsI have to admit, I don't yet get the full picture of my own changes. I based my work on making the head version of binutils
are rarely OK. Although some are probably needed since the WinCE
loader is so different from typical ARM loaders, it's important to
minimize them, and to figure out (A) what the differences are supposed
to be, and (B) where the most effective place to implement the changes
is.
Another thing that helps to make your changes clear is new testcases; if there had been enough testcases for the special WinCE needs, it probably wouldn't have broken.
Cheers, Pedro Alves
