Subject: High memory usage compiling large ‘xxd -i’ output
Date: Sat, 11 Apr 2020 15:03:04 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <84BAF17A-8E6A-45E6-B8EC-D697A7D64230@umn.edu> (raw)

Hello,

I’m seeing gcc memory usage exceed 15GB when compiling a source file generated from the command:

% xxd -i file.txt

where ‘file.txt’ is a 170MB file.

Is there a way to avoid this high memory usage?  Can anyone explain why it occurs?

Thanks,

Ryan Elliott
