[LLVMdev] 64bit MRV problem: { float, float, float} -> { double, float }

this is almost certainly *not* an optimization - the llvm-g++ front-end
generates this because the x86-64 ABI requires it.  There's not much that
can be done about it if you want your functions to be callable from code
compiled with a different compiler, such as gcc.

Ciao,

Duncan.
