--- Comment #175 from Jan Hubicka <hubicka at gcc dot gnu.org> 2013-01-17 14:40:04 UTC --- Created attachment 29191 --> http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=29191 alternative patch without the compression. This is alternative patch just skipping columns but not doing the compression. It seems that compression is actually quite effective. Non-compressing w/o column info is 1073872920 bytes, compression + no column is 268566544 bytes compression + column is 1073872920 bytes Perhaps I messed up the caching with column info? It strikes wrong that the numbers are precisely the same. But perhaps it is just reallocation strategy. I will also generate fresh numbers for unpatched GCC.
