Bug ID: 63191
Summary: 32-bit gcc uses excessive memory during dead store
elimination with -fPIC
Product: gcc
Version: 4.9.1
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: rtl-optimization

Source triggering memory usage
Every version of gcc I try from 4.4 -> 4.9.1 on 32-bit Linux uses excessive
memory (eventually exhausting all 3GB of virtual address space) when I compile
the attached (generated, simplified) source with
g++ -c -O2 -fPIC badmatch.cpp
4.3 does not exhibit the issue.
64-bit Linux (gcc 4.4.4 in that case) does not exhibit the issue, and memory
usage tops out at ~440MB. gcc 4.4.4 on 32-bit Linux does exhibit the issue.
Dropping -fPIC causes memory usage to top out at ~175MB and the compile to
succeed.
-no-dse eliminates the problem as well.
A look at the mallocs in the debugger suggests that the explosion of
allocations is happening under rest_of_handle_dse(), e.g.:
#0 0x00332e46 in malloc () from /lib/libc.so.6
#1 0x08a26148 in xmalloc ()
#2 0x0829285b in pool_alloc(alloc_pool_def*) () at
../.././gcc/alloc-pool.c:281
#3 0x082f076e in cselib_lookup(rtx_def*, machine_mode, int, machine_mode) ()
at ../.././gcc/cselib.c:1303
#4 0x089536e2 in canon_address(rtx_def*, int*, int*, long long*, cselib_val**)
() at ../.././gcc/dse.c:1182
#5 0x08954770 in record_store(rtx_def*, bb_info*) () at ../.././gcc/dse.c:1443
#6 0x08955e6a in rest_of_handle_dse() () at ../.././gcc/dse.c:2616
#7 0x084bd923 in execute_one_pass(opt_pass*) () at ../.././gcc/passes.c:2233
The most recent version with which I have tested:
>g++ -v
