- <h4 class="subsection">6.3.6 Headers Installed by GCC</h4>
-
- <p>In general, GCC expects the system C library to provide most of the
- headers to be used with it. However, GCC will fix those headers if
- necessary to make them work with GCC, and will install some headers
- required of freestanding implementations. These headers are installed
- in <samp><var>libsubdir</var>/include</samp>. Headers for non-C runtime
- libraries are also installed by GCC; these are not documented here.
- (FIXME: document them somewhere.)
- </p>
- <p>Several of the headers GCC installs are in the <samp>ginclude</samp>
- directory. These headers, <samp>iso646.h</samp>,
- <samp>stdarg.h</samp>, <samp>stdbool.h</samp>, and <samp>stddef.h</samp>,
- are installed in <samp><var>libsubdir</var>/include</samp>,
- unless the target Makefile fragment (see <a href="Target-Fragment.html#Target-Fragment">Target Fragment</a>)
- overrides this by setting <code>USER_H</code>.
- </p>
- <p>In addition to these headers and those generated by fixing system
- headers to work with GCC, some other headers may also be installed in
- <samp><var>libsubdir</var>/include</samp>. <samp>config.gcc</samp> may set
- <code>extra_headers</code>; this specifies additional headers under
- <samp>config</samp> to be installed on some systems.
- </p>
- <p>GCC installs its own version of <code><float.h></code>, from <samp>ginclude/float.h</samp>.
- This is done to cope with command-line options that change the
- representation of floating point numbers.
- </p>
- <p>GCC also installs its own version of <code><limits.h></code>; this is generated
- from <samp>glimits.h</samp>, together with <samp>limitx.h</samp> and
- <samp>limity.h</samp> if the system also has its own version of
- <code><limits.h></code>. (GCC provides its own header because it is
- required of ISO C freestanding implementations, but needs to include
- the system header from its own header as well because other standards
- such as POSIX specify additional values to be defined in
- <code><limits.h></code>.) The system’s <code><limits.h></code> header is used via
- <samp><var>libsubdir</var>/include/syslimits.h</samp>, which is copied from
- <samp>gsyslimits.h</samp> if it does not need fixing to work with GCC; if it
- needs fixing, <samp>syslimits.h</samp> is the fixed copy.
- </p>
- <p>GCC can also install <code><tgmath.h></code>. It will do this when
- <samp>config.gcc</samp> sets <code>use_gcc_tgmath</code> to <code>yes</code>.
