IV81776: LONG COMPILE TIMES WITH -QDBGFMT=DWARF

Subscribe

You can track all active APARs for this component.

 

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.
    

Temporary fix
