- Subject: PATCH [mainline] speed up comparing enums declared in multiple translation units
This is a performance bug fix which prevents mesa (SPEC program) to
compile with IMA in a
reasonable amount of time. Performance hit is comparing two enumerated
types declared in
different translation unit. Fix is in routine
tagged_types_tu_compatible_p and uses
the infrastructure already there to prevent recursion when comparing
composite types.
Essentially it remembers previous comparison results of the two enum
types and uses the
saved result. bootstrapped, dejagnu tested on ppc-darwin. Furthermore,
tested against
SPEC benchmark with IMA. mesa now takes minutes to compile, instead of
days (on my
particular G5 machine anyway).
OK for mainline?

comparison of enums declared in separate tus.
