- RS is *always* working on GCC. However, the code-generation and

- is working on now is an optimization of GCC itself (in certain cases,
- GCC uses enormous amounts of memory). The change won't affect the
- generated code in any way. So recompiling already working code with

- The same as when new versions of software is released, someone (H.J.)
- will probably compile and release it.

- : Will jump tables solve that problem too?
-
- Nope, jump tables can't do anything about application changes!
