No. The output does not contain the actual body of functions, for instance. It is useful for knowing "what's the type of this global variable?", "where is this type defined?", "how many arguments has this function? what's their types?", "what's the data members of this struct?", "what's the methods of this class?" etc In that case, it seems like a fine feature as far as I can see. I will ask the GCC developers about it. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way!
