--- Comment #4 from David Binderman <dcb314 at hotmail dot com> --- (In reply to Alexander Monakov from comment #3) > Looks like gcc-9 regressed here. Not sure. Adding flag -fno-inline to the compile line: $ time ~/gcc/results.265139.release/bin/gcc -w -I ../trunk/runtime -O2 -c -fno-inline destDir/testFile.8458.c real 0m47.647s user 0m45.990s sys 0m0.473s So it seems that if the inline is switched off, compile time reduces a lot (92%). $ fgrep -c inline destDir/testFile.8458.c 0 $ Doesn't make much sense to me.
