The purpose of this Exception is to allow compilation of non-GPL (including proprietary) programs to use, in this way, the header fi les and runtime libraries covered by this Exception. requires the Runtime Library for execution after a Compilation Process, or makes use of an interface provided by the Runtime Library, but is not otherwise based on the Runtime Library.

Notwithstanding that, Target Code does not include data in any format that is used as a compiler intermediate representation, or used for producing a compiler intermediate representation. represented in non-intermediate languages designed for human-written code, and/or in Java Virtual Machine byte code, into Target Code. Thus, for example, use of source code generators and preprocessors need not be considered part of the Compilation Process, since the Compilation Process can be understood as starting with the output of the generators or preprocessors. using GCC, alone or with other GPL-compatible software, or if it is done without using any work based on GCC. For example, using non- GPL-compatible Software to optimize any GCC intermediate representations would not qualify as an Eligible Compilation Process. Target Code formed by combining the Runtime Library with Independent Modules, even if such propagation would otherwise violate the terms of GPLv3, provided that all Target Code was generated by Eligible Compilation Processes. You may then convey such a combination under terms of your choice, consistent with the licensing of the Independent Modules. any general presumption that third-party software is unaffected by the copyleft requirements of the license of GCC.
