I agree with you and Mark. What I'd like to do next is: 1. Merge mainline into the branch to make sure there are no snafus. 2. Post the patch so folks can look at it while I do 3 & 4: 3. Attack the other front ends. So far I have only dealt with C/C++, but the FE only changes are usually minimal. 4. Adjust the 10 or so back ends that make MODIFY_EXPR nodes. 5. Merge into mainline. And then... start working on the other tuples. How does this sound to y'all? Aldy
