Bug #: 52066 Summary: IRA and reginfo initialization too expensive Classification: Unclassified Product: gcc Version: 4.7.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: middle-end AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org ReportedBy: ja...@gcc.gnu.org On compilation of an empty file, we spend almost half of the runtime on IRA and reginfo cost initialization. Inlining reg_class_subset_p and reg_classes_intersect_p gives us at least tiny part of compile time back, at the cost of some small code growth.
