Yes, that was part of the motivation for the LTO design that Kenny, I, and others developed: such a database "falls out" of that design, with relatively minimal additional effort. However, whether or not that proposal will be implemented is still an open question, dependent on demand, technological evaluation relative to other approaches for link-time optimization (notably, LLVM), and available resources. -- Mark Mitchell CodeSourcery [EMAIL PROTECTED] (650) 331-3385 x713
