-  Front ends which link with c-common or other files from the C/C++

-Apr 7, 1998:
-  The interface between toplev.c and the language front ends for opening the
-  source file has changed:
+  New way:
 
-  o init_lex() has been renamed to init_parse (char *filename) where filename
-    is the name of the source file.
-  o The code in toplev.c which opened the source file should be moved to
-    the new init_parse function.
-  o toplev.c now calls finish_parse() instead of closing the source file
-    using fclose(). This should now be done in finish_parse, if necessary.

-Apr 1, 1998:
-  Front-ends must now define lang_print_xnode.  It is safe for this
-  function to do nothing.  See c-lang.c.
+2001-02-26:
+  A DECL_INITIAL of NULL_TREE or error_mark_node in a VAR_DECL is no longer
+  taken to signify a tentative definition which should not be emitted until
+  end-of-file.  Frontends which want that behavior should set
+  DECL_DEFER_OUTPUT before calling rest_of_decl_compilation.
