It looks like you're making generic ObjC > chagnes, not FreeBSD specific ones. No there is no reason, and yes the changes are generic. I don't really expect there to be many (if any) changes to libobjc that are not generic, so if gcc-patches is the place to go, that is where I'll go. In your experience, how long is the delay between gcc-patches accepting something and FreeBSD picking it up, ie. is it worth the effort? -- Chad David davidc@issci.ca www.FreeBSD.org davidc@freebsd.org ISSci Inc.
