------- Comment #6 from rask at gcc dot gnu dot org 2007-10-27 12:46 -------
As far as I can tell (from running cc1 in a debugger), the problem is not so
much the size of the file, but that it contains two large functions and GCC
leaks memory. After compiling the first large function, the process size is 886
megs (basic-block reordering alone being responsible for about 200 megs),
probably littered with pieces of garbage. That'll cause all following
allocations to become scattered thoughout memory and the swapfest begins if you
don't have lots of memory. 256 megs is not enough. The RTL passes in particular
seem to be affected and several df_* functions take ages to run.
I'm working on a patch to split insn-attrtab.c into more files.
