Hello

I believe plugins and PCH are not always mixing well. For sure, plugins 
which are using PLUGIN_REGISTER_GGC_ROOTS & are called when *generating* 
a precompiled header should be coded with extraordinary care, and very 
probably some more suppport is needed inside the GCC trunk.

See the discussion on 
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2009-07/msg00507.html for more.

Maybe we should for the moment issue a warning when a precompiled header 
is generated with plugins having used PLUGIN_REGISTER_GGC_ROOTS?

To be safe, the generated *gch file should know all the active plugins 
when it was generated. We also need a "dynamic tag" support which I only 
sketched in the discussion of 
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2009-07/msg00507.html

Of course, this does not affect the read of precompiled headers.
 
Comments are welcome.

Regards.
