Hi Denis,
Yes, that was the point of my original question. I was asking how you
felt about the dead code, apologies that it took so long to get on the
same page. I don't have a strong opinion there, I was just making you
aware that there was more dead code. Another option would be to move
just the switch statement into a secondary shared function which might
be small enough not to trigger that compiler bug.
But, I'll leave those decisions up to you. I was just pointing out that
you missed some potentially dead code...

No, the functions that generate the offset curves can only
return a line or a curve of the same degree as the curve
whose offset they're generating.
Then why does the code to handle the opposing curve type exist in
these
functions?

Because everything was copied from somethingTo, which had to handle
both types of curves, and I applied constant propagation and dead
code elimination very mechanically for fear or breaking something.
Should I remove the cases that never execute?

Denis.
