------- Comment #49 from rguenth at gcc dot gnu dot org 2008-01-23 09:06 ------- I think it is reasonable to build in limits into passes that do work not linear (or at least quadratic) in the number of statements, BBs or edges.
The testcase is probably just extracting the core problem from a real-world testcase (where the situation is probably also not that bad). -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19097
