Ok for trunk (4.8). Please add a documentation entry to gcc-4.8/changes.html. I'm not sure whether this kind of stuff should change on a release branch, I'll defer to others for this. Still, if you backport it, add a gcc-4.x/changes.html item to the sub-release sections. Richard. > cheers, > DaveK > > >
