--- Comment #9 from doug mcilroy <doug at cs dot dartmouth.edu> ---
If I can play with the assembler to accomplish the desired result, why can't
gcc? I notice that gcc is smart enough already to produce uninitialized space
for
char a[10000000] = "\0";
int main(){ return 0; }
It even does so for a string of 1000 \0's. But not for one x.
--------------------------------------
It's lamentable that a common feature--partially initialized arrays--can lead
to stratospheric compile time.
Apologies for wishfully misreading partial sections into the EPL spec.
