------- Comment #2 from acahalan at gmail dot com 2006-02-20 03:18 ------- For variables that are commonly used in a large project, you sure wouldn't want to be putting conditional code all over the place if you could avoid it. The choice could be something like:
a. put #if TARGET_WANTS_XXX in 12345 locations b. put if(TARGET_WANTS_XXX) in 12345 locations c. just live with lots of bloat d. make use of this proposed feature in 1 location -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=26371
