--- Comment #14 from GCC Commits <cvs-commit at gcc dot gnu.org> --- The releases/gcc-12 branch has been updated by Jonathan Wakely <r...@gcc.gnu.org>: https://gcc.gnu.org/g:ec5da76ad33dcba7858525fdb6b39288631fcd8a commit r12-10206-gec5da76ad33dcba7858525fdb6b39288631fcd8a Author: Jonathan Wakely <jwak...@redhat.com> Date: Thu Jun 8 12:24:43 2023 +0100 libstdc++: Optimize std::to_array for trivial types [PR110167] As reported in PR libstdc++/110167, std::to_array compiles extremely slowly for very large arrays. It needs to instantiate a very large specialization of std::index_sequence<N...> and then create a very large aggregate initializer from the pack expansion. For trivial types we can simply default-initialize the std::array and then use memcpy to copy the values. For non-trivial types we need to use the existing implementation, despite the compilation cost. As also noted in the PR, using a generic lambda instead of the __to_array helper compiles faster since gcc-13. It also produces slightly smaller code at -O1, due to additional inlining. The code at -Os, -O2 and -O3 seems to be the same. This new implementation requires __cpp_generic_lambdas >= 201707L (i.e. P0428R2) but that is supported since Clang 10 and since Intel icc 2021.5.0 (and since GCC 10.1). libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog: PR libstdc++/110167 * include/std/array (to_array): Initialize arrays of trivial types using memcpy. For non-trivial types, use lambda expressions instead of a separate helper function. (__to_array): Remove. * testsuite/23_containers/array/creation/110167.cc: New test. (cherry picked from commit 960de5dd886572711ef86fa1e15e30d3810eccb9)
