--- Comment #10 from Richard Biener <rguenth at gcc dot gnu.org> --- All time is spent in invalidate_equivalencies. /* A new value has been assigned to LHS. If necessary, invalidate any equivalences that are no longer valid. */ static void invalidate_equivalences (tree lhs, vec<tree> *stack) { for (unsigned int i = 1; i < num_ssa_names; i++) if (ssa_name (i) && SSA_NAME_VALUE (ssa_name (i)) == lhs) record_temporary_equivalence (ssa_name (i), NULL_TREE, stack); if (SSA_NAME_VALUE (lhs)) record_temporary_equivalence (lhs, NULL_TREE, stack); } this is obviously quadratic ... nearly all calls are from static gimple record_temporary_equivalences_from_stmts_at_dest (edge e, vec<tree> *stack, tree (*simplify) (gimple, gimple), bool backedge_seen) { ... else if (backedge_seen) invalidate_equivalences (gimple_get_lhs (stmt), stack); } return stmt; } I think you should record a bitmap of SSA names you need to invalidate equivalences to and only at the end of this do a single scan over all SSA names.
