A path where different solutions for different problems are evolved

than a path where a single solution to two different problems is
attempted from the start.
Which is thus why I think that there

That said, having a good representation for source-level exporting is
clearly useful. To be perfectly clear, I am not against a source-
level form, I am just saying that it should be *different* than the
one used for optimization.

I totally agree with Steven on this one. It is *good* for the
representation hosting optimization to be different from the
representation you use to represent a program at source level. The two
have very different goals and uses, and trying to merge them into one

IMVHO dumping for export and front-end tools and for the optimizers

would hope the dumper would dump GIMPLE only, not the full front end

What makes EDG so great is that it represents C++ far closer to the
actual source code than G++ does.
I know the EDG front-end very well; I first worked with it in 1994, and
I have great respect for both the EDG code and the EDG people.
I disagree with your use of far

I've been watching the LLVM/LTO discussion with interest.
I'm learning that I need to express myself carefully, because people
read a lot into what I say, so I've been watching, and talking with lots
of people, but not commenting. But, I've gotten a couple of emails
asking me what my thoughts
