------- Comment #7 from jakub at gcc dot gnu dot org 2009-02-12 12:16 ------- Adding -fno-move-loop-invariants to the x86_64 mentioned options results in VIRT memory topping around 1224m (only because of IRA, before RA it never went above 1GB). Seems it is really the loop2_invariant pass that ate 28GB of RAM.
