As with all gcc enhancements, the best way to make it happen is to do it yourself. I think that if somebody produced a clean patch for this functionality, it would be accepted. But it's true that it wouldn't hurt to raise it on the mailing list to see if somebody is strongly opposed to it. > And for filing a request, > would you prefer me to give a suggestion for the syntax and the effect > it would have, or is it better to leave it open until someone > interested in implementing it forms an opinion? It helps to have a suggestion for the syntax. Ian
