The fact that LLVM has it already, and that some Emacs modes could be written to support it, does not preclude extending GCC or creating packages to interact with it (or extending the LLVM-related ones to support both). The point is to give people a strong motivation to implement the necessary support with GCC. What you have in mind would give people no motivation to do that, so it would not help GCC. It is more of an excuse for giving up than a resolve to resist. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way!
