--- Comment #10 from Sergei Trofimovich <slyich at gmail dot com> --- (In reply to Alan Modra from comment #6) > Alernate patch series starting with > https://sourceware.org/pipermail/binutils/2025-October/144989.html Tested with all 4 patches cherry-picked. Observe similar performance improvement as H.J.'s patches: $ printf "int f_0() __attribute__ ((section (\".text.0\"))); int f_0() { return 0; };\n" > main.c; for (( i=1; i<20000; i++ )); do printf "int f_$i() __attribute__ ((section (\".text.$i\"))); int f_$i() { return f_$((i-1))(); };\n"; done >> main.c; printf "int main() { return f_19999(); }" >> main.c; gcc -O0 -c main.c -o main.o; echo "bfd:"; time gcc main.o -o main -fuse-ld=bfd -Wl,--gc-sections bfd: real 0m0,113s user 0m0,070s sys 0m0,043s (was 5s before patching) On a real test linking of a large `pandoc` project shrunk from 36s down to 18s (gold does it in 13s). Also looks good! -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
