Thanks for your observations Wolfgang. Your efforts on g++ are
definitely appreciated, and I look on in amazement at some of the
reduction feats that you have pulled off in bugzilla.
My request therefore would be if the libstdc++ people could comment if it is
possible to gradually move away from their style of using inlined function
definitions, and towards a style where function declarations and definitions
are always clearly separated. I understand that this is a huge change, but
one that could make the life of us bugmasters so much easier!
This will, of course, make the libstdc++ include files bigger for
everybody else... but perhaps only marginally so.
