I have a patch which makes the generated code accessible through a procfs file. That can easily be converted back into a .o file and then be disassembled. So it's now a question of which variant is preferable. I don't mind - it's just that I've never been a friend of leaving much debugging code or features around. 99% of the time it is just make the code harder to read and maintain. Ralf
