If you're not entirely certain what the compiler is capable of, it helps you determine things like wether temps are automatically moved to the smallest enclosing scope, whether a certain function gets inlined, etc. I imagine with Sista, it becomes an even more essential tool for checking what the compiler actually produces. Building and debugging something like that without a decompiler also seems like a whole lot of pain... Cheers, Henry
