Subject: Large changes checked in
Date: Thu, 01 Jul 1999 00:00:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <19990603073507.17700.qmail@daffy.airs.com> (raw)
I checked in some large changes to the hash table, the scrubber, and
the symbol handling code.
The symbol handling changes are the worst. These will probably break
most targets. I checked and fixed many popular ones. I'll fix the
rest over time. If you run into trouble, let me know. Failure is
indicated by a failure to compile.
The goal was to speed up gas on large files. On a particular 27M
input file I was using as a test case, these patches change gas from
130.44+2.52 user+cpu time and 46M of memory to 44.85+1.65 and 34M.
Wall time on my system with 64M of real memory went from 2:42 to 0:53.
Please let me know about any problems.
Ian
