Am I the only one who's frustrated with the current state of the
trunk? I've been trying to work up some of my own patches, but I
can't even test that the compiler still bootstraps with them, because
it doesn't bootstrap in the first place, or even completely build
most of the time. It's been like this for over a week, seemingly
since the flow.c tinkering started, and in order to get my work done,
I have to do it all in Apple's version instead and hope to submit it
at some future date.
Sure, it's amusing and educational to single-step through flow
routines, but by the time I've figured out how it works today, it's
changed again. Perhaps this should all be happening on a branch?
>From the discussion I see on gcc-patches, it doesn't sound like
there is a consensus on how to do things, and the trunk is surely
not the right place for this kind of experimentation.
