Re: [commit] Deprecate remaining STREQ uses


BTW, coff (not xcoff) support which is where (ignoring ada, hi joel)


I will take care of removing all STREQ* usage from our ada-specific
files. This update will then be contributed when we are finally ready to
merge our sources into your tree.

Thanks. You'll see that I tweaked the ARI so that it doesn't include ada.


Note, this raise another question: I consider that the Ada experience
that we started a year ago (or maybe even longer) has failed. Since
then, the ada-specific files tend to suffer from bitrot, and I presume
that they also sometimes cause a small maintenance overhead when large
changes such as this one are done. Shouldn't it make better sense to
simply remove this file for now? It can be added back when we deliver.

I think having the code there is still helpful. It gave other developers some context, for instance when recently studying PaulH's expression changes. It also lets us see the problems that are heading our way (that thread stuff :-).


enjoy,
Andrew
