But when I use skip:
  
ptr * GTY((skip(""))) defs, 

its doesn't mark the vector, so it gets stomped all over. :


    typedef struct def_optype_d GTY(())
    {
      unsigned num_defs;
      tree * GTY((skip(""))) defs;
    } def_optype_t;

produces:

void
gt_ggc_mx_operands_d (void *x_p)
{
  struct operands_d * const x = (struct operands_d *)x_p;
  if (ggc_test_and_set_mark (x))
    {
    }
}


So that doesn't work for me either.

I am lothe to use the other patch until it is accepted by someone. OH, I
see Jim OK'd it. Has it been checked into mainline or the tree-ssa
branch?
