Performance issue of libtool-2.4.4

2015-02-02 Thread Robert Yang


Hello libtool,

It seems that libtool (2.4.4) has increased the packages build time, after
a rough investigation, it maybe because new libtoolize needs run a m4
command:

# Save the command pipeline results for further use by callers of
# this function.
func_extract_trace_result=`$ECHO $_G_mini \
  |$M4 -daq --prefix $_G_m4_traces - $@ 21 1/dev/null \
  |$SED -n -e $_G_transform`

This may increase the build time (just a rough guess), does any other
one also notice the performance issues, please ? I will go on
investigating on it.

Any suggestion is appreciated.

Did you time 'libtoolize' and compare the timings with 2.4.4 to the 
release you were using before?


Libtoolize is not normally considered to be part of package build time 
since packages usually already come 'libtoolized' (using some random 
version of libtool).
