(At that time I could only speculate... now that > GGCS 2.8.0 is out I can check for myself). We do periodic merges from the gcc2 tree, which includes the -fcheck-memory-usage code. The latest snapshot has everything you'd find in gcc-2.8. However, I'd still be suprised if -fcheck-memory-usage works. jeff
