Bug ID: 57635
Summary: gcc hanging while compiling huge files
Product: gcc
Version: unknown
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: vijunag at gmail dot com
to gcc
Hello,
I recently upgraded my compiler to 4.7.2 and I'm trying to compile a huge file
containing as much as 92840 lines and gcc is taking an eternity to compile.
(more than 18 hours)
I see via top command that CC1 is consuming 100 percent CPU.
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
14848 vinag 25 0 485m 413m 8196 R 99.9 0.4 64:41.24 cc1
I tried to attach to CC1 in gdb and below are few snapshots of it under gdb
snapshot 1
Program received signal SIGINT, Interrupt.

I'm little bit surprised because same file I was able to compile with my older
gcc compiler 3.3.
