There have been lot of discussions about it in the past and I got the (now-obviously-wrong) understanding that GCC was using multiple entry-points strategy. | I can see no reason why either the multiple entry-points or cloning | approach would have a problem with recursion, though. OK. Thanks a lot! -- Gaby
