Bug #: 53635
Summary: --enable-build-with-cxx: stage1-gcc shrinks from 1.1
GiB to 0.4 GiB
Classification: Unclassified
Product: gcc
Version: unknown
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: bootstrap
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Blocks: 44433
Host: i686-pc-linux-gnu
Target: i686-pc-linux-gnu
Build: i686-pc-linux-gnu
As reported in <http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2012-06/msg00107.html>: when
--enable-build-with-cxx is enabled, the size of the build directory
stage1-gcc shrinks (!) from 1.1 GiB to 0.4 GiB, such that the whole build
tree then occupies 2.6 GiB instead of 3.2 GiB. I did notice that the C
build uses -fkeep-inline-functions, and the C++ build doesn't (my logs,
and confirmed in the top-level configure.ac), but don't know if that is
the (sole) reason; I have not looked at this in more detail -- but 0.6
GiB or 60 % less is quite a bit.
This may be a non-issue, but someone should declare it so.
