APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
Compiling large applications with DWARF debug information using the -qdbgfmt=dwarf option is taking significantly longer time than when compiling the same applications with stabstring debug information. Compiling may appear to hang as well.
Local fix
Use stabstring debug information.
Problem summary
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Very long compile time, appearing as hanging. USERS AFFECTED: DWARF users with large source code.
Problem conclusion
Usage of several internal compiler data structures are slowing down the compile time. A fix was implemented and compile time is now faster.
