Yes, on the LTO branch, we are working to store the entire translation unit in a form that can then be read back into the compiler. The global symbol table is stored using DWARF3, so you can read it back with a standard DWARF reader. See lto/lto.c on the LTO branch for the code that does this. At present, there are a few things that are not yet written out to the DWARF information (like GCC machine modes), but most things (types, functions, variables) are present. -- Mark Mitchell CodeSourcery [EMAIL PROTECTED] (650) 331-3385 x713
