- Subject: HPPA files naming convention...
I find the naming convention for the hppa targets too short for my
liking: - hppah -> hppa on hpux
- hppao -> hppa on osf
- hppab -> hppa on bsd
I suggest we transition to a more verbose naming, which should be more
consistent with the other ports I know. For instance, how about
hppa-hpux instead of hppah. I hear a netbsd port will probably be done
in the future, we can then use hppa-netbsd.
We would use this convention for the files in the config/pa directory
(tm-hppa-hpux.h, hppa-hpux.mt, etc), and also for for the files in gdb
(hppa-hpux-tdep.c).
The part that is indenpedent of the OS would still stay in hppa (eg
tm-hppa, hppa-tdep.c, etc).
Does this seam like a good idea?
