Thanks for this information. I presume from you response that there
is a plan to address this issues, is this something that will be
happening in the 'near-term', by that I mean within the next 6-9
months?
Well, we will need something like this for the LTO project
(http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/LinkTimeOptimization). I am not sure whether
there is anyone actively working on it ATM, though. As far as
timelines, that is fairly hard to predict. It may be a few months or a
couple of years.
The only change in this area that I'm aware of is the streaming of type
information using dwarf. But that is not the same as having a proper
GIMPLE type system.
