Re: Bootstrap failure on powerpc-apple-darwin8 with Ada


    I disbelieve you can get this in C or C++.  The fragment above is a
    syntax error.  AFAIK, all of this is simple laziness in the Ada front
    end: generating &<constructor> is how things were done at the
    beginning of time, and it was easier to change this in the gimplifier
    than to modify the code that generated this directly.

Well, it's more that what this should get changed to is the address of a
temporary and the gimplifier already has code to make the temporaries
so why duplicate that code in Gigi?
