I don't see any improvement if I apply 4 patches at https://inbox.sourceware.org/binutils/[email protected]/raw against binutils-2.45. It takes the same 5 seconds after the patch mostly spending in sys: $ printf "int f_0() __attribute__ ((section (\".text.0\"))); int f_0() { return 0; };\n" > main.c; for (( i=1; i<20000; i++ )); do printf "int f_$i() __attribute__ ((section (\".text.$i\"))); int f_$i() { return f_$((i-1))(); };\n"; done >> main.c; printf "int main() { return f_19999(); }" >> main.c; gcc -O0 -c main.c -o main.o; echo "bfd:"; time gcc main.o -o main -fuse-ld=bfd -Wl,--gc-sections bfd: real 0m5,800s user 0m2,569s sys 0m3,216s `perf record -g` / `perf report` claims is still spends all the time in `_bfd_elf_gc_mark`: 98.30% 0.02% ld.bfd libbfd-2.45.so [.] _bfd_elf_gc_mark | --98.29%--_bfd_elf_gc_mark | --98.28%--_bfd_elf_gc_mark_reloc _bfd_elf_gc_mark | --98.28%--_bfd_elf_gc_mark_reloc _bfd_elf_gc_mark | --98.27%--_bfd_elf_gc_mark_reloc _bfd_elf_gc_mark _bfd_elf_gc_mark_reloc _bfd_elf_gc_mark ... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
