beware of dead string constants
Quoted 3 lines
Jakub Jelinek claims to have fixed this particular bug in the last week or so, although I have not downloaded and compiled recent CVS to verify this.
I have a compiler from gcc.gnu.org's CVS tree that's only a few days old, so I can verify Jakub's claim.
It Works For Me (tm).
There is a considerable amount of engineering and testing and releasology and distribution between "CVS compiler" and "production compiler for kernel builds" though.

and according to Jeff Law, this case is *not* fixed yet.
My compiler behaves as Jeff says.

BTW, do you have any estimate of how much dead string space it actually removed ? (I.e. did the .data segment size change significantly, or was is lost in the normal inter-gcc-version noise ?)
Just curious,
