Hello All,

I find quite confusing the error messages when asking for graphite related
optimization on a GCC where Cloog has been (inadvertently) disabled. I would
like the sorry message to explicitly mention Cloog in that case.


Here is a trivial patch to trunk 169524.


########### gcc/ChangeLog entry
2011-02-02 Basile Starynkevitch  <basile@starynkevitch.net>

	* toplevel.c (process_options): Mention Cloog in error message 
	when don't HAVE_cloog.

	* graphite.c (graphite_transform_loops): Likewise.

Comments or Ok are welcome.

That does not help the user.  How about

"The Graphite loop optimization framework was disabled for this GCC
configuration"

that should redirect people to whoever configured GCC or to install.texi.

But with your proposal, there is only a clue of a misconfiguration, but not of its nature.

The nature of the misconfiguration is not know at this point.  It can be
either missing cloog, missing ppl, wrong versions of cloog or ppl
or simply a --disable-graphite.  Your patch is not helpful in identifying
the problem (the user might just do rpm -q cloog and see he has
cloog installed).

Richard.
