While I certainly support the initiative, I'd like to hear a bit more about what's planned. For instance, the earlier thread talked mainly about parallelizing the build, but in my experience, a lot of the time is wasted because of bad algorithms inside the tools themselves rather than lack of parallelism. For instance, 6357412 showed how an undersized hash table inside lint added about 30 minutes to a 90 minute build. -- meem _______________________________________________ tools-discuss mailing list tools-discuss@opensolaris.org
