             Bug #: 14619
           Summary: Slow startup when built without --disable-nls
           Product: gdb
           Version: HEAD
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: win32
        AssignedTo: unassigned@sourceware.org
        ReportedBy: vanboxem.ruben@gmail.com
    Classification: Unclassified


On Windows, when starting a Qt GUI "Hello World!" style app, startup time on my
8GB RAM Core i5 2.5-3.2 GHz is dramatically increased when gdb is not built
without nls. Doing

gdb testapp
set verbose on
run

shows me that the delay is due to symbol loading of QtCore4d (2 vs 6 seconds)
and QtGui4d (6 vs 18 seconds). The times are counted by me and recorder
visually. The issue is discussed here:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=29795741

Where the "rubenvb" build left out --disable-nls and the mingw-builds didn't. I
built gdb with --disable-nls seperately and verified it improves the times as
described above and in that thread.

I'm sure this isn't wanted. Providing a minimal testcase will be difficult, the
Qt debug DLL's involved are quite large, but it should be reproducible with the
official Qt installer and for example my GCC 4.7.1 32-bit toolchains' gdb.
