Bug #: 51060 Summary: Temporary object stack space is not re-used Classification: Unclassified Product: gcc Version: 4.6.2 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org ReportedBy: andv...@gmail.com Created attachment 25769 --> http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=25769 10 tmp objects of 1KB in size produce 10KB frame I've tried hard finding a related incident, the only one close to it is PR 16269, but its solution doesn't help. Attached is a sample test, which allocates 10 temporary objects of 1KB size in own blocks in the same function. If compiled with "-Wframe-larger-than=2048 -Werror -Os" (-Oany) the following warning is produced: warning: the frame size of 10240 bytes is larger than 2048 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=] In our case, function frames are blown away for 100+KB, what makes a code with similar pattern absolutely unusable in embedded systems. Reproduced on GCC 4.6.1 x86_64 @ Debian and custom built GCC 4.6.2 for ARM. The same issue exists in GCC 4.3.x for ARM.
