I recall, back in the 2.something timeframe, when NetBSD broke gcc's nested functions, without, apparently, even realizing it. (Shortly after that, gcc got fixed so they worked - but at the ruinous performance cost of a trap to the kernel on entry to any function containg nested functions. As far as I know that's where it stands, though I haven't been keeping up to date on the issue. Someday I intend to build a compiler that does nested functions without needing to execute out of the stack, but so far that's strictly a blue-sky project.) /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML [email protected] / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
