That is true. OK, I can see an argument that when using -fnon-call-exceptions that kind of code should not be changed to call __builtin_trap. In that case I think it would be fine to run the isolate paths optimization, but to not omit the actual dereference of the NULL pointer (possibly the dereference could be followed by a trap). Ian
