A few people use it correctly to mark their bugs as enhancements or trivial, but most users just set it to "blocker" because they think it means "how important is this to you?". Obviously everyone's bug is important to t

Good Afternoon, My colleagues and I are doing a study on compilers.  We have some questions related to gcc and the compilation process that we were hoping you could help us with. In a general sense, we were wondering what optimizations may be occurring in the front-end stages of the compiler?
