Re: GCC 4.3.0 Status Report (2007-09-04)

Hi,

I apologize for the late response to your mail but I sort of did these
patches up recently .

I have a couple of patches that I submitted / intend to submit . One
of them was submitted today regarding a small improvement to the
auto-increment pass. I am not sure if this is suitable for stage3 if
it is approved.

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2007-09/msg01060.html

The other patch that we have for submission is relatively trivial and
tries to be more precise with size costs for builtins while inlining.
I guess that should be alright for stage3  .

cheers
Ramana
