In theory this could be done I think, but it is a global optimization, and is currently not yet done. Global optimization have a lot of practical concerns though since they often require multiple compilation passes, and thus a lot of infrastructure to make it end-user ready. _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lazarus.freepascal.org http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
