Hi, I've branches the IPA branch yesterday and re-directed current SPEC testers running tree-profiling branch (now officially retired ;) to it. ( http://www.suse.de/~aj/SPEC/amd64 ). The branch should be used for interprocedural optimization projects that has serious chance to get into 4.2 (or perhaps longer term plans as long as they won't interfere with merging changes to 4.1).
I plan to implement the SSA based inlining to the branch and will start pushing patches probably sometime next week. I would especially welcome frotend fixes for the multiple decls problems so we can compile SPEC in whole program mode wihtout ugly hacks ;)) Please use IPA in the subject line if you don't want me to miss the patches to branch.
