Organization: AT&T Bell Laboratories - Naperville, Illinois Lines: 12 Will standard debuggers (such as SDB) be able to support noalias (and I don't mean ignore noalias)? By support I mean implement the worst case scenario -- do not obtain the data pointed to by a noalias pointer more than once (store it internally somewhere else, for example). I can think of at least one case where this cannot be done. Linking to an already-compiled routine can not be implemented this way at all. -- _ __ NEVIN J.
