Perhaps that would be an approach for C++ as well? C++ already has the rule that default arguments are evaluated at the call site, so this is definitely something to consider for stage 2 and higher builds. For stage 1 builds, I suppose one would have to fake it and leave with the imprecision that is bothering Richard? > (This assumes that gather-detailed-mem-stats is not needed in the first > stage compiler.) it is built into stage 1 compiler, but I doubt that stage 1 compiler is really useful to the kind of detailed statistics that would require this. -- Gaby
