Re: RFC: optimized-out pieces


Jan> And maybe a new patch to post?

Here you go... I just rebased so I could update the AX translation patch
to account for your latest DW_OP_call* patch...

I could push to archer if you really want.  I'm enjoying rebasing to
keep the patches clean though.

Jan> (there were also some [obv] const changes)

I must have missed those, point them out and I will fix them.
