Yup, that is one more instance where having proper tools to check if our assumptions are right proves fruitful. I'm very happy for Ilpo to be doing this work and making the case for us to work even harder on having such tools to check if our assumptions are right. - Arnaldo P.S. subscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and help us produce even more such compiler watchdogs, right now changes to the dwarves are being made such that we can check if the layout we think is optimal really holds to that promise :-) Soon I'll be looking at Ulrich's promising new disasm stuff :-) Archives: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.debugging.dwarves - Arnaldo -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
