nickdesaulniers added a comment. Here's a [hastily and poorly written] script to measure the average cycle counts for 30 invocations using linux `perf`: https://gist.github.com/nickdesaulniers/4a20ba10c26ac2ad02cb0425b8b0f826
For Diff 382671 (latest; storing redecl state), builds of the linux kernel x86_64 defconfig+CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE=y: $ /tmp/measure_30.sh 'make LLVM=1 -j72' 'make LLVM=1 -j72 clean' ... Average of 30 runs: 10780685107280.83 cycles For Diff 382344 (earlier; walking redecl chain), builds of the linux kernel x86_64 defconfig+CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE=y: $ /tmp/measure_30.sh 'make LLVM=1 -j72' 'make LLVM=1 -j72 clean' ... Average of 30 runs: 10745227016663.00 cycles Damn, so what I proposed was slower, at least for the major case that I care about. I suspect that perhaps there's more forward declarations than actual functions we end up generating IR for, perhaps...either way, I'm sorry for suggesting the "storing redecl state" approach. If we want to go back to the earlier version in Diff 382344, at this point, I'd be happy to accept that revision. Sorry for causing whiplash on this.
