--- Comment #168 from Jan Hubicka <hubicka at gcc dot gnu.org> 2013-01-09 21:20:46 UTC --- Too bad :( The patch should reduce memory usage, not increase it. So it must be something else. My build was around 7GB w/o PGO, I will need to try the PGO builds myself. My tree is however somewhat out of date. I will try fresh checkout and post mem usage stats. Perhaps you can share smewhere the -lm.res and *wpa*cgraph dump of --save-temps -fdump-ipa-cgraph build? I will try to figure out those symbols.
