Re: Lazy allocation of DECL_ASSEMBLER_NAME
OK, so to summarize the sitaution, the conclusion is that the DECL nodes
shall be unique now and thus using DECL_ID indexed hash table shall be
safe?
Yes. If there are problems with that, then we will need to fix the
front ends.
Also I need to get nodes from identifier names back in varasm.c (while
outputting them). Is there some comfortable way to get the DECLs back
without having two hashtables?
Not that I know of. The real fix would be to change the interfaces so
that you had DECLs, rather than names, in varasm.c -- but I know that
would be a huge change.
Would it be OK if I did it once the cgraph merge patch is settled down?
Yes. We're not going to make this optimization for 3.4, and there is
lots of time until 3.5.
I'd really like to see you make progress on some of the wrong-code/ICE
bugs in 3.4. For example, the cselib_record_set problems should be fixed.
Thanks,
