Hi!

I normally don't pay too much attention to how GCC builds proceed, but
here, I was waiting for it to complete...  ;-)

Doing a native bootstrap build on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, with
'--enable-checking=yes,extra,df,fold,rtl' (is that excessive, maybe?), I
just noticed that stage 2 (thus actually '-fno-checking') build of
'insn-extract.c' took more than 80 min to complete (with 1.3 GiB RAM
resident, which seems "reasonable").

I know we have some such issues compiling GCC's large generated files,
but I don't think I noticed that one being so much slower than the
others.  In terms of file size (which doesn't say too much, I
understand), it's with 432 KiB not exactly small, but not exactly huge
either: 'insn-automata.c' occupies 11 MiB, and in the '-j16' build on
"Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2620 0 @ 2.00GHz" completed much earlier.

I do notice that 'insn-extract.c' is special in that it contains exactly
one function, containing one huge 'switch' statement at its top level.

Is this maybe an issue/regression that somebody else also has noticed
(recently?), and/or worth investigating?


Grüße
 Thomas
