Description lucier 2003-10-17 03:28:25 UTC

With this compiler

banach-19% gcc -v
Reading specs from
/export/mdd0/users/lucier/local/gcc-ssa/bin/../lib/gcc/sparc-sun-solaris2.8/3.5-tree-ssa/specs
Configured with: ../configure --enable-checking=no --enable-languages=c
--prefix=/home/c/lucier/local/gcc-ssa
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.5-tree-ssa 20031016 (merged 20031005)

I get the following results on the file

http://www.math.purdue.edu/~lucier/bugzilla/1/_num.i.gz

when it exhausts the 2GB (?) virtual memory process size after about 90 minutes
(?) of cpu time.

It compiles for me without running out of memory.  Brad, does it still happen 
for you?

Comment 2 Andrew Pinski 2003-11-18 06:01:14 UTC

Any memory hog.
Brad can you try again, it might be fixed with a patch to fix PRE's memory problems.

Comment 3 Andrew Macleod 2003-11-18 15:45:11 UTC

My compile times indicate that for mainline it takes 930 seconds to compile with
-O2.
Tree-ssa with -fno-tree-pre compiles it in 73 seconds.

with PRE, it compiles in 165 seconds now. 

So PRE is definately better than it was, and both are WAY better than mainline :-).

Mainline is spending over 80% of its time in regstack...

-fno-tree-pre can compile it in 107 seconds at -O3

Comment 4 Andrew Pinski 2003-11-18 16:49:47 UTC

Wow, a testcase where the tree-ssa is faster :)

I'm out of town, but I managed to build it and compute the current  
time.  It required about 340 MB, top, to compile:

This is with checking enabled, so I don't think this is an issue  
anymore.

If it becomes an issue, I'll file another report ;-).
