Best way to figure this out is to write a simple 5 line testcase that defines a structure type and also defines a pointer to that type, and then step through gcc to see what it does. Try putting breakpoints in finish_struct and build_pointer_type. -- Jim Wilson, GNU Tools Support, http://www.specifix.com
