I don't understand the question. When I say "trust me" I was commenting on one *particular* aspect of implementation that I *happen* to have seen. I think it is fair to speak from experience where experience exists. I don't have answers to most of the intelligent questions asked by Bakul, for example and that's why I keep my mouth shut on those portions of the thread up until I can lay my hands on Snow Leopard. Finally, if you are interested in this topic go grab http://clang.llvm.org/ and play with it. It'll give you 90% of the answers. The rest is in Apple's implementation. My understanding is that it is slightly different from the OS one. Thanks, Roman. P.S. Or do you want *my* help with the code?
