------- Comment #12 from hubicka at gcc dot gnu dot org 2009-11-12 23:52 ------- When we use summaries at LTO as well as on WHOPR, we get better testing coverage for the summary streaming code, somewhat faster linktime (avoiding need to produce them) and we should make it possible for LTO to drag in function bodies on demand avoiding the problems with peak memory usage. At LTO it should be possible for IPA pass to compute missing summaries when needed, but we will need bit of infrastructure for it.
