Bug #: 54114 Summary: variable-tracking performance regression from 4.8-20120610 to 4.8-20120701 Classification: Unclassified Product: gcc Version: unknown Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: middle-end AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org ReportedBy: ji...@gmx.net Compiling the XPath.cpp from xalanc shows significant performance regression because of variable tracking, between GCC 4.8-20120610 to 4.8-20120701. Tracking it down is hard since var-tracking.c changed a lot in the past month, CC'ing lxo for better ideas. :-) It seems to apply mostly to C++ code, see the graph and the last annotation at http://teras-ics.mooo.com:8003/
