When dumping the trees during compilation GCC-4.1-2005010[1,8] went into an endless loop during the *.c.t22.copyprop or the *.c.t37.copyprop2 dump, thus generating larger and larger files. After the file reaches 2GB in size gcc stops.
The same happens with gcc-4.1-20050515 in the steps *.c.t24.copyprop or *.c.t38.copyprop2. The dumper seems to follow and print a copy propagation chain like this in all the cases: A->B->A->B->A->B->... I've observed this behaviour with many source files. -- Summary: -ftree-dump-all-details hangs during *.c.t24.copyprop or *.c.t38.copyprop2 Product: gcc Version: 4.1.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: minor Priority: P2 Component: tree-optimization AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: Ralf_Recker at gmx dot de CC: gcc-bugs at gcc dot gnu dot org http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21732
