------- Additional Comments From steven at gcc dot gnu dot org 2004-12-07 09:46 ------- When we die in PRE we have a huge number of SSA names too: (gdb) p ssa_names->elements_used $8 = 159414 GCC just doesn't scale to such sizes. I wonder how the function could grow this large. Even at "-O2 -fno-inline" we still ICE in global.c with n_basic_blocks == 37278 and max_regno == 49402.
