Actually, none of these patches make any attempt to generalize location expression handling. The first just copies some organizational changes from gcc. The others are Dan Berlin's WIP dwarf2read rewrite, which doesn't touch the locexp code (though I think it does fix inter-CU references, which is needed before we can do any duplicate elimination on the compiler/linker side). > Anyway, this is approved. Applied, thanks. Jason
