------- Comment #48 from potswa at mac dot com 2010-09-17 19:45 ------- I'm having trouble finding the discussion that precedes the June 24, 2003 redesign, but I'll add "unified" to the search terms.
Actually, last week I started some changes with the aim of fixing the bug, not changing the philosophy. Rather than eliminate the state variables, just call overflow and underflow in the cases that otherwise fail. So if I finish that, and it performs well, I suppose I'll start an RFC. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=45628
