[Gomp-discuss] Stop whining ..

[Lars Segerlund]

 I think we whine a bit too much on how to implement some things in something 
which we don't have code for.

 What is relevant is stuff like how we can handle the headers and GPL, and how 
we do what we set out to do which I now intend to enlighten everyone on.

 If I'm not misinformed our original aims were:

 1'st and foremost to create an OpenMP gcc.

 2'nd to extend gcc's internal representation to handle parallell consturucts, 
NOT ONLY OpenMP, i.e. to get a general parallell middle end.

 3'rd to target this middle end specifically for OpenMP and POSIX threads for a 
start.

 This implies, ( if I'm not as stupid as some people think :-) ... ), that we 
have to make the frontends work, and we have to have a working backend lib 
which isn't too closely tied to the middle end, and a retargettable middle end 
for the parallell part.

 I do believe that we had the outspoken aim of making a generic parallell 
representation for the middle end and hook into our own creation to specificly 
generate for OpenMP ?

 Is this still the way we aim to go ? If not what's wrong with it ? And if 
somethings wrong with it what do we do instead ?
