Well, you're assuming that a) everyone's using a C compiler, b) that gcc has the slightest clue what it's doing, c) that the user has no problem using nasty hacks to regain control, d) that this information is only needed at compile time, e) that various gcc internal definitions won't change... You're adding a lot of complexity, and thus room for very weird breakages, to something that doesn't need it. -- Ciaran McCreesh Mail : ciaran dot mccreesh at blueyonder.co.uk -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
