As the original author I do tend to agree, we've been finding all of these places, particularly as we go to more and more tree optimizations. However, the question is what do we do at this particular point given it has been in the compiler for 2 years now. There were a number of people that did ask me for it when I presented the initial thoughts a few years ago. -- Michael Meissner, IBM 4 Technology Place Drive, MS 2203A, Westford, MA, 01886, USA meiss...@linux.vnet.ibm.com
