Something I'd like to get rid of at some point (but it's not 100% easy as backends for example compare va_list_type_node by pointer). > Also, the backend needs to choose > the right Pmode (and in the case of ptx, emit a directive about address > sizes). Surely that will only be one problem with going the LTO way to handle the offloading ;) Richard.
