Would you consider inclusion into GNAT if someone implemented this?
Yes, in general, if the benefits (in measurable speedup) outweigh
the costs (speed degradation in single-unit case, maintainability
of the compiler, ...) of an optimization, it will be considered
for inclusion. Best would be to first post a design overview,
before doing a lot of work in order to prevent spending time
on implementing something that may turn out to have fundamental
problems.
The discussions Robert mentioned were before Ada was part
of GCC, and I am not sure I have anything in writing on
these ideas.
