end-of-file. Frontends which want that behavior should set
DECL_DEFER_OUTPUT before calling rest_of_decl_compilation.
-Aug 31, 1998:
- The interface to HANDLE_PRAGMA has changed. It now takes three arguments.
- The first two are pointers to functions that should be used to read characters
- from the input stream, and to push them back into the input stream respectively.
- The third argument is a pointer to a null terminate string which is the first
- word after #pragma. The expression supplied by HANDLE_PRAGMA should return
- nonzero if it parsed and implemented the pragma. Otherwise it should return
- zero, and leave the input stream as it was before the expression was evaluated.
-
- A new back-end definable macro has been added: INSERT_ATTRIBUTES. This macro
- allows backend to add attributes to decls as they are created.
-
-Jun 10, 1998:
- The interface to lang_decode_option has changed. It now uses and argc/argv
- interface to allow for options that use more than one input string. The new
- declaration is: int lang_decode_option (int argc, char** argv). It now
- returns the number of input strings processed, or 0 if the option is
- unknown.

-Jun 7, 1998:
- Front-ends must now define lang_init_options. It is safe for this
- function to do nothing. See c-lang.c.
-
-Apr 21, 1998:
- Front ends which link with c-common or other files from the C/C++
- front-ends may need to handle TI types. Look for references to
- [unsigned]int_DI_type_node in your front end. If you have references
- to these variables, you'll need up update the front end.
-
- To update the front end you must mirror all the code which currently
- deals with intDI_type_node to also handle intTI_type_node.

-Apr 7, 1998:
- The interface between toplev.c and the language front ends for opening the
- source file has changed:
-
- o init_lex() has been renamed to init_parse (char *filename) where filename
- is the name of the source file.
- o The code in toplev.c which opened the source file should be moved to
- the new init_parse function.
- o toplev.c now calls finish_parse() instead of closing the source file
- using fclose(). This should now be done in finish_parse, if necessary.
-
-Apr 1, 1998:
- Front-ends must now define lang_print_xnode. It is safe for this
- function to do nothing. See c-lang.c.

Feb 1, 1998:
GCC used to store structure sizes & offsets to elements as bitsize
When a size in bits is converted into a size in bytes, which is expressed
in trees, care should be taken to change the tree's type again to sizetype.
- We've updated C, C++, Fortran & Objective-C to work with the new
- scheme. Other languages will need to be updated accordingly.
