- The gcc manual states :
-
- On the Sparc, GNU CC uses an incompatible calling convention for
- structures. It passes them by including their contents in the argument
- list, whereas the standard compiler passes them effectively by
- reference.
- This really ought to be fixed, but such calling conventions are not yet
- supported in GNU CC, so it isn't straightforward to fix it.
-
- The convention for structure returning is also incompatible, and
- `-fpcc-struct-return' does not help.
-
-
- are there any plans for fixing this ? if so, when is it due for
- release. could some kind soul at FSF respond ?
-
- thanks
