I'm very confused.
For sure the "O-O C++" version performed better than the "hard coded C"
version of the test case until a week ago, and this is the case indeed
the case for gcc3.0.2.
You mean that your recent checkins, while improving the optimization of C
code have a negative impact for C++ code until some radical modifications
are implemented to improve C++ alias analysis?
