Hello All,
my MELT branch http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/MiddleEndLispTranslator has a big
source file in it warm-basilys-0.c. It is "self" generated, about
14Mbytes & almost 280KLOC (in rev136334). It ends with a big
initialization routine of 100KLOC which mostly fills a 5000 member
structure (each member being itself a small structure) and calls a few
routines. This initialization routine has a simple control structure (no
deeply nested blocks or loops).
But gcc (either gcc-4.1 or 4.2 or 4.3 from Debian, or the bootsrapped
trunk rev136331) can compile this file without any optimisation ie with
-O0 -g3 in about 16 seconds and less than 1Gb RAM.
But on my 6 Gbytes machine (Core2, 2400MHz, Debian/Sid/AMD64) the cc1
process with -O2 (either 4.2, 4.3 or the trunk) eats nearly 10Gb of
virtual memory and trashes (using 4.8Gb of RAM, 1% cpu time, waiting for
the swap IO). The same happens with -O1. -Os is a bit better.
The time to run the
./built-melt-cc-script warm-basilys-0.c warm-basilys-0.so
which compiles warm-basilys-0.c with -O2 -fPIC is
(you can set the MELT_EXTRACFLAGS environment variable to pass
real 84m23.594s
user 6m23.496s
sys 1m5.032s
I am attaching the -ftime-report output for information. One of the most
demanding passes is tree operand scan
I find this report misleading on the memory consumption total (1591718kB
= 1.6Gb). The top command gives that cc1 needs nearly 10Gb of process
space, and uses nearly 5G (and trashes).
I won't be annoyed for long by this, since I'll soon split the
warm-basilys.bysl file (and hence the generated files) in several
distinct files. Until then, -O0 is enough for me.
Are there any specific flags to pass to gcc to lower the RAM consumption
(even at the expense of generated code quality)?
Are there any pragma-s to disable (or lower) optimisation of a single
routine?
My intuition (and experience) is that gcc -O2 (or even -O1) time and
space consumption is nearly quadratic on the size of the longest routine.
Thanks for reading.
