>Description:
A function with some integer arithmetic operations is declared with the __inline__ specifier. With -O or higher, it takes a long time to compile on IA64. In particular, it is exponential in the number of statements
(count *= 10;) in the function.
The x86 gcc (same 200010402 snapshot) does not have this behavior.

>How-To-Repeat:
// compile with -O or higher
int count = 1; // no problem with double
static __inline__ void
 toobig(void ) {

    count *= 10; // also depends on this value
    count *= 10; // takes more time for larger values
// 2
    count *= 10;
    count *= 10;
// 4  
    count *= 10;
    count *= 10;
// 6
    count *= 10;
    count *= 10;
// 8  
    count *= 10;
    count *= 10;
// 10
    count *= 10;
    count *= 10;
// 12  
    count *= 10;
    count *= 10;
// 14
    count *= 10;
    count *= 10;
// 16  
    count *= 10;
// 17 
    count *= 10;
// 18  
    count *= 10;
// 19
    count *= 10;
// 20
    count *= 10;
// 21
#if 0
    count *= 2;
// 22
    count *= 10;
// 23  
    count *= 10;
// 24
#endif

} 

int main(){
 toobig();
 printf("count = %d\n",count);
}
