Joe, I'm pretty sure the compiler guys, both IA-32 and IA-64, know their stuff when it comes to the challenges of C++ and OO programming. In any case, I would imagine that optimization would include inlining of simplistic functions and streamlining of late-binding function calls (such as those labeled "virtual"). Then the blocks which can be optimized will become larger and more manageable.

At least Itanium has a way to improve upon function calls and minimizing "spill-n-fill" of the register file. Itanium supports a register window and a background register save mechanism, so the processor won't have to worry about copying some (if not all) of the registers to memory before jumping to a function. This works even for recursive function calls.
