I tend to think that this is the wrong standard to apply. In this case we would be avoiding a beneficial change -- as measured in both performance in a couple of cases, and in size -- for the sake of unknown and possibly nonexistent consumers. I think instead the burden of proof should be on those consumers, both to give their evidence and reasoning and to engage with GCC. Another way to look at it is that there have been many changes to GCC's DWARF output in the last few years. Surely these have broken these DWARF consumers more than this change possibly could. Tom
