Hi Bill,
Fair enough. Are there guidelines for development/pull-requests on
binutils?
Written Coding Style, testing requirements, stuff like that?
Yes. We (try to) follow the GNU Coding Standard:
https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/
When adding a new feature it is also very helpful if you can create
some new testcases in whichever testsuite is appropriate. Also
adding an entry to relevant NEWS file is appreciated too.
Obviously the patch must compile and work on modern versions of GCC,
but it should also buikd with older versions of gcc. (Eg gcc v4).
I hope that this helps, and thank you for your interest in contributing.
Cheers
Nick
