What's the purpose of the TargetSubtarget class? It appears the only users of getSubtarget are in the target-specific code, where the abstraction is superfluous. Is it just a way to encourage targets to follow a nice pattern of keeping subtarget state in a separate class, or are there grand plans? Dan -- Dan Gohman, Cray Inc.
