Since you already ran into trouble, I'm worried that will be other trouble. At least, it's hard for me to convince myself that there won't be any other trouble. And I don't think we should introduce trouble at this point in the release cycle. So, yes, I'd prefer to see this fixed in GCC 9, and, once people have had a chance to test it on various systems, backport to earlier versions if appropriate. Ian
