------- Comment #27 from niemayer at isg dot de 2006-12-13 11:37 ------- I would like to mention that this problem seems to have worsened a lot for the current snapshots of gcc-4.2 (currently testing with 4.2.0 20061205 (prerelease)) when compiling with at least -O1 - maybe due to the static constant elimination?.
I tried to compile a Unicode normalization test C++ source that took gcc about 300MB of RAM before to compile with -O1 - now with gcc 4.2 I cannot compile this source anymore on a machine with 1 GB of physical + 1 GB of virtual RAM before the kernel OOM killer is killing cc1plus. If somebody would like the source of my test-case, I can supply it. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=12245
