Package: gcc-4.6 Version: 4.6.0-6 Severity: important
gcc-4.6 has a regression wrt flattening (__attribute__((flatten))) that makes it disregard the fact that some functions aren't inlineable. This causes build failures if you call functions with va_args (this is PR#48731 upstream). It also means that in large compilation units with functions properly marked as "noinline" the attribute noinline is disregarded leading to completely awful build times (tens of minutes and 4Go of ram and the build fails with ENOMEM). The bug is fixed upstream please backport it, it's r172963 in the gcc-4.6 branch. as a side note: gcc-4.6 in Debian reports itself as 4.6.1 which is annoying because it's a 4.6.0 + patches and this issue is fixed in the 4.6 branch that will become 4.6.1 which prevent disabling __flatten__ for gcc 4.6.0 only :/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
