Oh, that.
I encountered something very much this in a much more severe context.
I'd suggest you try these things:
1. Place a ggc_collect here in loop.c:
/* Now scan the loops, last ones first, since this means inner ones are done
before outer ones. */
for (i = max_loop_num - 1; i >= 0; i--)
{
struct loop *loop = &loops->array[i];
if (! loop->invalid && loop->end)
scan_loop (loop, flags);
ggc_collect ();
}
2. If this works (it would limit memory use at the cost of
dramatically longer optimisation), go to cselib_init in cse.c, and
either (a) create the two varrays slightly larger than cselib_nregs
so that it's more likely they can be reused, or (b) arrange for
ggc_realloc to be used which I think is the preferred solution.
I hit this one with a routine, the result of inlining and soon to be a
real-life example, where max_loop_num was over 4000 and cselib_nregs
was about 120k.
