Hi.
In rustc_codegen_gcc, we rely on recording::memento::get_debug_string
even though this function should only be used for debugging (because
there are no ways for now to compare rvalues, but this is another,
bigger story) and we faced huge memory usage (+100 GB) because
recording::memento::get_debug_string create memento strings, which means
they will only be freed at the end of the compilation process.
Would it be OK to change this so that the responsibility of freeing the
strings is moved to the caller of gcc_jit_object_get_debug_string?
That might require to remove the caching that is done in
recording::memento::get_debug_string.
What are your thoughts on this?
Thanks.
