Half-way scrolling through the patches, this seems a good time for a possibly disruptive comment from the side-line: ;-) For the size-critical types containing and, affected by enlarging location_t to 64 bits, would it be feasible to instead express the location as an index into a (new) array elsewhere that contains the location_t? If that idea was discarded early or pursued and discarded, I missed that. brgds, H-P
