That's beautiful. It may be a monster, but it started so small in 1992 - then was grown with loving care in 1993, 1994, 1995, 1998, 1999, 2001, 2002, 2004, 2005

- asveikau 12y agoIt was 16 lines in 1992. I guess that's not what it is today, but not exactly "so small". https://github.com/mirrors/gcc/blob/42c63e4d48cfac192be8c0ccf36ee82193a03000/gcc/reload.c#L468-L484 https://github.com/mirrors/gcc/blob/42c63e4d48cfac192be8c0cc... The copyright notice goes back to '87. I wonder if '92 is just where the source control kicks in.
- LukeShu 12y agoI thinks that's just when the source control kicks in. DannyBee claims that reload was started in the late 80s. There are commits going back to 1988, but it looks like a lot of the early commits are out of order; the repository was (at least) converted from RCS to CVS to SVN to Git.
