lots of reasons. 1) it's only enabled in debug mode 2) when i reviewed it [ 2 months ago], i think i noticed that it has side-effects. ... IIRC, if you compile in debug mode, it acts as expected: merges all call-backs into the parent pool if you DON'T compile in debug mode, where you DO need to find problems, then because it does nothing, you end up not detecting them! 3) as i understand it, its description has nothing to do with what it actually does. 4) it's only called in two places. 5) it's in the way of being able to turn apr_pool from a flat, global-based memory system into a truly hierarchical one. luke
