Bug #: 56746
Summary: 4.8 regression: increased memory usage when compiling
C++
Classification: Unclassified
Product: gcc
Version: 4.8.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c++
AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org
ReportedBy: math...@gaunard.com
On my C++ project I have observed significant increased memory usage between
GCC 4.6/4.7 and 4.8.
Unfortunately I do not have a testcase, but compiling the test
"core.utility.functions.whereij.unit" of my template-heavy project NT2
(https://github.com/MetaScale/nt2) gives the following results:

So it goes from 2.65GB to 3.79GB.
