I have jumped to the conclusion that the absence of this option implies that there are significant differences in the intermediate tree representations for C and C++. Since you mention 4.x, The 'dumped representation' in 4.x is quite different than what is printed in 3.4. Is this due to the internal representation being different (if any response involves gimple vs generic, please give some details - i.e. does the 4.x dump represent generic or gimple?)? Or is it just a different 'design decision' that the simplified C provides a better representation? To try to clarify my confusion, could 3.4 do a tree dump for C but it is just not implemented? As always, thanks for your time! kevin > Ian
