This guide explains what to do to send a GCC patch for review.
|
||||
|
||||
All the commands are supposed to be run in the folder where you cloned GCC.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
./contrib/gcc-changelog/git_check_commit.py
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You can provide a specific commit hash:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
./contrib/gcc-changelog/git_check_commit.py abdef78989
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
a range:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
./contrib/gcc-changelog/git_check_commit.py HEAD~2
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
or even a comparison with a remote branch:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
./contrib/gcc-changelog/git_check_commit.py upstream/master..HEAD
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
When there is no more errors, generate the git patch:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git format-patch -1 `git rev-parse --short HEAD`
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then you can run the remaining checks using:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
contrib/check_GNU_style.sh 0001-your-patch.patch
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
When you have no more errors, you can send the `.patch` file to GCC by sending an
|
||||
email to `gcc-patches@gcc.gnu.org` and to the relevant GCC mailing lists
|
||||
depending on what your patch changes. You can find the list of the mailing lists
|
||||
[here](https://gcc.gnu.org/lists.html).
|
||||
|
