If we can use mmap to read the IL--which I personally think is going to be a requirement for speed during the LTO phase--then this issue does not necessarily arise. Rather than see work on this, I personally would prefer to see work toward developing an IL which can be read using mmap (possibly with pointer swizzling during the write phase, which is less time critical). If it turns out that auto-generation is still useful during the write phase, I have no problem with it. Ian
