rossberg, you bumped the variable limit the last time (jkummerow, you
reviewed;
see description for a link) do you know what the "correct" limit is (if
there
is
one) and what will go wrong if we have too many variable?
Bumping the limit was an emergency solution for GWT at the time, IIRC. I
later
resisted requests to bump the limit even further, since there is no reason
to
assume that there ever is a "correct" one -- and we cannot bump the limit
each
time some user hits it again with even more complicated code. Instead, we
need
to educate those users that there will always be limits, and that they need
to
write their code generators such that they can cope.
Having huge numbers of local variables in a single function will lead to
excessive compile times (not all relevant algorithms are necessarily
linear) and
memory consumption, so we have to draw the line somewhere.
Thus, I'm actually opposed to this change.
