The optimizers are no longer dependent on the non-standard syntax previously used to implement the NRV optimization. ie, the compiler should be able to take standard C++ code and determine when it is safe and profitable to apply the NRV optimization. If you have cases where the NRV optimization is not being performed and you think it should be performed, feel free to send them along for us to investigate. Jeff
