Generated source


Apologies if this is a silly question.

We're looking at adding contributing processor-specific code to binutils.
The code in question would come from internal code-generation applications
that would also contribute different but equivalent functionality to a
proprietary toolchain. In other words, it's like having a yacc that squirts
out two different y.tab.c files, one for binutils, and one for the
proprietary toolchain.

The question is: assuming all the licences and copyright-assignment
paperwork's in place (it is), would such generated source be acceptable to
the binutils maintainers, without also contributing the means of re-generating
that source? I.e. without also contributing the source for the generation
tool, and the definition files from which it works.

Thanks,

steve
