James Y Knight <foom at fuhm dot net> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |foom at fuhm dot net --- Comment #8 from James Y Knight <foom at fuhm dot net> --- The requested semantics were subsequently implemented by GCC as `-mno-direct-extern-access` in PR100593, is that right? (Except that it was done only for x86-64, rather than being arch-independent.) So maybe this PR should be closed?
