I believe (without offering data, sorry) it *may* yield inferior code. However, my original point was to make sure that we understood your interpretation was a change to the C++ standard object model. Given the consequences, I think it was appropriate to raise the issue to the C++ committee. So far, the only response I got was the sentiment that it is a change in semantics. Given C99's move, it is essential for C++ to get to a better state of the object model. However, C99's notion of "effective type" is not without its own set of problems (already in C99). The details can be found in Nick MacLaren's paper. -- Gaby -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29286
