Making each call pass eight arguments | rather than one is fortunately a fairly mechanical change, as the new | arguments are derived from the existing one in a fixed way. Notice that in all the cases where the sentences are combined, the parts all come from string lietrals. There ought to be a way to have the compiler build those (kind of compile-time introspection facilities). -- Gaby -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18248
