- this->is_n64_ = elfcpp::abi_64(ehdr.get_e_ident()[elfcpp::EI_CLASS]); + this->is_n64_ = size == 64; The only places left that use is_n64_ are is_n64() and is_newabi(), and is_n64() isn't ever called. You could remove this data member, the is_n64() method, and change is_newabi() to check for size == 64. -cary
