A VEC is good for collections that do not expand often -- like temlate parameter list after parsing, or member functions after class definition. Consequently a vector is not a good use for reprensenting overload sets in C++ -- they are dynamic entities that grow as the translation unit is being compiled. Getting rid of TREE_LIST does not necessarily mean mechanical replacement with a VEC. A plain single linked list should be sufficient. -- Gaby -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22635
