No pointer plus will make it worse. It changes so many non tested parts of GCC
it is not funny. I added like 5 testcases to the testsuite because we were not
testing those parts. The reason why 4.2 was bad is not because of features but
because people did not work on regressions that much. I think 4.3 has/is
changed a lot of people and how they work because most of the work they were
working on has gone in. So people now are working on regressions, this is
unlike 4.2 where people working hard on other projects during stage3.
