It's nearly impossible to make the patch compartmentalized, but pretty much all of the changes would be clearly disabled and no-ops unless the flag was given in the command line. That said, I found out there's still a long way to go before this is actually a no-op in terms of generated code (other than debug info, that is), as far as testsuite results, target libraries and other ports are concerned, so I'm thinking this is very unlikely to make 4.3 :-( -- Alexandre Oliva http://www.lsd.ic.unicamp.br/~oliva/ FSF Latin America Board Member http://www.fsfla.org/ Red Hat Compiler Engineer [EMAIL PROTECTED], gcc.gnu.org} Free Software Evangelist [EMAIL PROTECTED], gnu.org}
