The ABI break was unintended and if you have issues with it I suggest you take it to GCC developers who silently disabled the feature. The whole FreeBSD community has lived with broken div(3) ever since GCC 3.2.x was introduced, and the first complaint we received only now. This speaks volumes about how often functions returning structs by value are actually used in the wild. The next ABI breakage will most likely come with GCC 3.3. And it will be loud, believe me. -- Alexander Kabaev To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
