------- Comment #5 from manu at gcc dot gnu dot org 2008-01-14 01:35 ------- Actually. Winit-self was introduced in GCC 3.4 but the init-self trick was probably introduced earlier. So this may actually be a regression from much earlier. Anyway, documenting that it doesn't work seems the right thing to do.
