Comments from EH folks? I think that would have a rather bad effect on C++ and Java code.
One of the nice things about the current approach is that it is very fine grained -- ie, the flag bit appears on SSA_NAMEs and thus has a relatively limited affect on optimization. Your approach would in effect penalize all other instances of a _DECL just because one instance happened to flow through an EH edge. Jeff
