Ping: [PATCH gcc/* 0/2] Typed qualifiers

[Joseph Myers]

Do you have a sense of how the design would be adapted if in future it 
needs to handle an arbitrary set of qualifiers determined when the 
compiler runs (so objects that can store qualifier sets need to involve 
dynamic allocation in some cases)?  For example, for features such as the 
N3587 "strong typedefs" proposal.  (I think that particular proposal is 
seriously flawed in both the design and the specification, including the 
whole idea of expressing things in terms of qualifiers rather than some 
other concept, but I still think it's worth considering how the available 
qualifiers being added to during a translation unit could be handled.  
Certainly I hope that typed qualifiers are a step in the right direction 
for anything requiring such dynamic allocation in future.)
