Scott, Well, that isn't something that's 'left to the compiler writer', but rather something that's a function of the optimization in the compiler itself. Given the same type of optimization, any language will cause that construct to suffer the same fate. Optimization is not part of the language spec. If it was, it would be a lot easier to port between compilers. -larry
