--- Comment #6 from Jerry DeLisle <jvdelisle at gcc dot gnu.org> --- I think I understand. The Frontend needs to access the parameters before and after the dtp->u.p section. When deleting that integer, that section was shortened, so the placement of the parameters after are offset. I am not sure why it does not break everywhere. I am thinking the patch to cleanup the dtp stucture will realign everything.
