If 'a' and 'b' aren't declared together in ]the same 'aliased' declaration, they _can't_ be aliased. Not at all. I don't see why you keep arguing that "arrays with this new 'alias' declaration of mine" are more optimizable than "pointers without the 'alias' declaration". You are comparing apples and oranges. The appropriate comparison is to compare the optimization potential of arrays vs. pointers either both with or both without the 'alias' declaration. -- David Gudeman Department of Computer Science The University of Arizona gudeman@cs.arizona.edu Tucson, AZ 85721 noao!arizona!gudeman
