Hi Dimitrie,
2003-04-15 Dimitrie O. Paun dpaun@rogers.com * windres.c (format_from_name): make the exit on error behaviour optional. (main): Rename the -I option to -J. Introduce -I as synonym for --include-dir. For backwards compatibility also support the old -I behaviour, but issue a deprecation warning. * doc/binutils.texi: Rename -I to -J. Document the new behaviour of the -I option. * testsuite/binutils-all/windres/windres.exp: Add test for the new -J option.
Approved and applied. (Finally!)
I am sorry - I had a problem with the FSF - their email to me about your assignment had become lost in the system. Now that we have sorted that out, I have applied your patch. There were two small problems with it:
Firstly you included the change to windres.exp in the ChangeLog for the rest of the changes. The binutils/testsuite directory has its own ChangeLog and any entries for alterations to tests ought to go in there. Secondly the change to windres.exp added the use of -J but it did not remove the use of -I. Since using -I now generates a warning message, ans since the test harness will fail any test producing unexpected warning messages, lots of tests started failing.
I have fixed both of these problems. (I removed the use of -I in windres.exp, since it is now deprecated).
Cheers Nick
