Same happens also for GCC7. It does 17 iteration (#define MAX_ITERATIONS 17) and

Ouch.
hm, 17 is a magic number. in C++98 it was the maximum depth of template
instantiations that implementations needed to support. Portable code
could not expect more. So the worst case -frepo behaviour would be 17
iterations.
That's not true any more, it's been 1024 since C++11.
Has a bug been filed about this frepo problem? If not, it suggest those
using frepo are not compiling modern C++.
That said, I would recommend to remove it :)
In the end it's up to the C++ FE maintainers but the above clearly
doesn't look promising
(not sure if it keeps re-compiling _all_ repo-triggered templates or
just incrementally adds
them to new object files).
I'm not opposed to removing -frepo from GCC 10 but then I would start
noting it is obsolete
on the GCC 9 branch at least.
I concur. frepo's serial reinvocation of the compiler is not compatible
with modern C++ code bases.
