------- Comment #13 from sje at cup dot hp dot com 2006-06-08 15:11 ------- The proposed patch does fix the compilation time problem on hppa64-hp-hpux11.11 but I am confused about how the cache works. Without the patch, the compile takes 15 to 20 minutes but I do wind up generating a sequence of instructions instead of a call to __divdi3. With the patch, I get a very fast compilation, but I also get a call to __divdi3 instead of the code sequence. Why does caching results change the behaviour? Caches (in general) should speed things up by saving previous/intermediate results, but shouldn't change the ultimate answer. This seems to be doing something different.
