------- Comment #32 from alexandre dot nunes at gmail dot com 2008-10-21 18:37 ------- I was considering using C++ for an arm-elf target, but I'm dropping that in favour of plain C because of this silly thing. This sucks, because other than that g++ does a pretty decent job when generating small, optimized code: I've got no abstraction penalty at all, but a few duplicated constructors here and there lead to about 23% code increase, and that wasn't acceptable.
The other funny thing is that if this is fixed, it'll be by 4.4 or something, and so far I can't consider using gcc versions newer than 4.2.x, at least because of PR31849. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3187
