Thanks for the response. Probably I did not say it clearly. in my
previous mail. What I wanted was something
little different. Basically, I want to dump all the RECORD_TYPE used
in all the functions of the current
compilation unit. Since a tree pass is executed at function level (if
I understood correctly),
if I dump such information at the end of my pass, a RECORD_TYPE will
be written out
multiple times if the type is used in several functions.

What I did currently was to add my dump routine in
toplev.c:compile_file, after finish_aliases_2
and coverage_finish. I thought it might be nice if there is already
some kind of method defined in the
tree_opt_pass so that user can use to do similar finish-up work.
