At Yahoo! we use a lot of shared memory, both in the form of .so's and for IPC. It would be very useful to be able to accurately measure the amount of shared and private memory associated with a process, the number of references to a given shared memory object, resident vs. non- resident pages, a

Exception-handling is broken with -O in -stable, and has been for years. FreeBSD is one of the few systems that use setjmp/longjmp stack unwinds to implement exceptions, so when the GCC folks broke that path, it was never fixed. There are supposedly patches floating around that fix the problem, b
