Hi! While type_hash_canon in case of reusing an already existing type ggc_frees the freshly created type, we still waste one type uid for each such case, this patch attempts to avoid that. Furthermore, for INTEGER_TYPE we keep around the min and max value INTEGER_CSTs and the cached values vector (until it is GCed).
Bootstrapped/regtested on x86_64-linux and i686-linux, ok for trunk? 2017-05-04 Jakub Jelinek <ja...@redhat.com> * tree.c (next_type_uid): Change type to unsigned. (type_hash_canon): Decrement back next_type_uid if freeing a type node with the highest TYPE_UID. For INTEGER_TYPEs also ggc_free TYPE_MIN_VALUE, TYPE_MAX_VALUE and TYPE_CACHED_VALUES if possible. --- gcc/tree.c.jj 2017-05-03 16:55:39.688052581 +0200 +++ gcc/tree.c 2017-05-03 18:49:30.662185944 +0200 @@ -151,7 +151,7 @@ static const char * const tree_node_kind /* Unique id for next decl created. */ static GTY(()) int next_decl_uid; /* Unique id for next type created. */ -static GTY(()) int next_type_uid = 1; +static GTY(()) unsigned next_type_uid = 1; /* Unique id for next debug decl created.
