Building the attached file with gcc from the 4.4 branch with -g -fstack-protector -fPIE -Os, the build fails (killed by oom), last info seen is memory usage of about 1500mb. Building without -fPIE memory usage is limited around 700MB. Same behaviour for 4.3. With gcc-4.2 peak memory usage is with/without -fPIE below 400MB. Not checked on trunk, currently fails to build. -- Summary: [4.3/4.4 regression] memory hog compiling big functions with -fPIE Product: gcc Version: 4.4.1 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: target AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: doko at ubuntu dot com GCC target triplet: arm-linux-gnueabi http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=40735
