The point I was trying to make (although perhaps not clearly enough) is that there is no reason that a trivial source file takes up such a huge amount of memory to compile. Especially since gcc 3.4.6 does not blow up like that. If every new gcc version means I have to readjust the amount of memory in my box, I guess I'll pass the next time a gcc upgrade happens. This is not what I would call progress. Anyway, I will get back under my stone now. :)Received on Sat May 26 2007 - 12:19:40 UTC
