Maybe not, but it is a matter of adding more hooks, which seems easy enough. In any case, the advice is the same: Join us and together we'll conquer the galaxy, ah no, that's not it. It is: join GCC development and propose changes that enable what you want to do. Nonetheless, if I wanted to try this idea, I would start with the hooks that are there already, thus I wouldn't even need to modify GCC. Then, I would test whether the result is fast enough, and then think about adding more hooks to catch anything that is missing. Cheers, Manuel.
