About LOCAL_CPPFLAGS and LOCAL_CXXFLAGS

[Pedro Lamarão]

I find this entry in the ANDROID-MK.TXT document strange.

--
LOCAL_CXXFLAGS
An alias for LOCAL_CPPFLAGS. Note that use of this flag is
obsolete
as it may disappear in future releases of the NDK.

I'm used to Makefiles generated by Automake, which I suppose follow
some kind of GNU stadard for Makefiles, where CPPFLAGS mean flags for
the pre-processor, while CXXFLAGS mean flags for the C++ compiler.

I think it would be useful to maintain consistency with this very
traditional build system nomenclature and keep CXXFLAGS for C++
compiler flags.

If a variable specific to the pre-processor is not considered useful,
drop CPPFLAGS instead. Or perhaps keep it, and make it a shared
variable between all compilers which use the C pre-processor.

Sorry but no, different build system == different conventions, deal with it.
