Points out that the patch needs to be applied to the source file and the tip of the master branch.
“Indeed, but the patch is then needed against the source file (ld/ld.texi), and against the tip of the master branch.”
In Details
This is a discussion about a trivial spelling correction in the binutils documentation, specifically in the linker (ld) manual written in Texinfo format (ld/ld.texi). The correction involves changing 'subseque nt' to 'subsequent'. The key point is ensuring the patch is applied to the correct file and branch.
For Context
This is about fixing a typo in the documentation for binutils, a set of essential programming tools. The specific typo is in the documentation for the linker (ld), which is used to combine compiled code into an executable program. The discussion highlights the importance of applying the fix to the correct source file and the latest version of the code.
