Re: 5% code size and compilation time regression at -Os in last 2 days

Come on guys, what are you doing?


Code size at -Os has regressed by a whopping 5% over the last 2 days:

view=Timeline&finish_button=Finish


But looking at todays results it looks like back to normal, I think this is not
really a gcc bug but a linker one. The only thing which went in yesterday which
could have even caused this was a patch which broke adding hidden symbols into
libgcc but I fixed that today. So if tomorrow's results will show that we
regressed again but this would mean the linker is not doing its job.


So in conclusion, this is not a gcc regression at all.

Thanks,
Andrew Pinski
