Re: More memory reductions on PR c++/12850


We have function that gets compiled, its body released and later the
DECL_ARGUMENTS are accessed by use_thunk that gets to the structure by
THUNK_TARGET.


It's probably possible to have use_thunk not touch DECL_ARGUMENTS by recreating them from first principles.

However, that's not easy, and certainly not appropriate for 3.4.

So, I think you should revert your patch for now.

These argument lists should not be terribly big, really. If they reference lots of other stuff via their DECL_RTL fields that might be a problem -- but you could then probably clear just DECL_RTL, since it doesn't look like that is examined by use_thunk.
