From: pchow@isgtec.com (Philip Chow) Subject: gcc -E slower in beta 18? 10 May 1997 17:11:58 -0700 Approved: cygnus.gnu-win32@cygnus.com Distribution: cygnus Message-ID: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Original-To: gnu-win32@cygnus.com X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.5 PL0b1] Original-Sender: owner-gnu-win32@cygnus.com I just recently had some time to move all my tools from beta 14 to beta18 and I am noticing a dramatic performance degradation for C-preprocessing of files with gcc -E. If I have the following command: gcc -D_WIN32 -E -U__GNUC__ -nostdinc -W3 -GX -G5 -DWIN32 -D__STDC__=0 \ -D_NTSDK -D_WINDOWS -I/path1 -I/path2 -I/path3 -I/path4 -I/path5 \ -I/path6 -I/path7 -I/path8 -I/path9 file.c the command executes 4 times slower in beta18 than beta14. The above paths reference mounts to 5 different samba server linked network drives. I have also noticed the same performance degradation in another version of cpp compiled for beta14 and beta18. What has changed between beta14 and beta18 which would cause file/directory access to be slower? I was all set to move to beta18 until I noticed the performance degradation. Everything is better in beta18 except for the above problem - I cannot afford a 60 second gcc -E versus 15 seconds. -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Philip Chow ISG Technologies Inc.
