I do that too. generating code isn't the problem here: it's that dbxout is generating debug info for types. I'd rather it didn't do that, because the info is wrong, but it's not really a problem. > Is it better to generate a COMPONENT_REF instead? No. This isn't in the code, it's in the type info of the superclass. Andrew.
