Possibly so, but what is the gain, a little bit of memory saved at

Not when you have "only" 256mb of RAM and compiling a large C++ file can
flush half your desktop out to swap. I'd love to see reductions in g++
memory usage :)


I just don't think the optimization you suggest will have any significant
effect in reducing memory used. Do you have data that says otherwise?
