I was wondering if anybody envisions a time when bug 9861 will be fixed? http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=9861 The last comment is that an ABI change is needed to fix it, but I also note that in november, a major ABI merge took place, but without this bug being addressed. This bug is absolutely critical for anybody doing much work with generics. Thanks. -Tupshin
