I am friendly script caring about memory consumption in GCC.  Please contact
jh@suse.cz if something is going wrong.

The results can be reproduced by building compiler with
--enable-gather-detailed-mem-stats targetting x86-64 and compiling preprocessed
combine.c or testcase from PR8632 with:

-fmem-report --param=ggc-min-heapsize=1024 --param=ggc-min-expand=1 -Ox -Q

The memory consumption summary appears in the dump after detailed listing of
the places they are allocated in.  Peak memory consumption is actually computed
by looking for maximal value in {GC XXXX -> YYYY} report.

Yours testing script.
