I agree that it has caused a huge number of compiler headaches. I suppose I'd be okay with disabling it by default, but like I said to Siarhei I would like to keep it working on x86 because that's a much easier way to test and prototype code than using slow iwMMXt/loongson systems. Though, I do fear that if we disable it by default it'll just get close to zero testing. _______________________________________________ Pixman mailing list Pixman@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/pixman
