Subject: Native code compile time question
Date: Fri, 05 Sep 2008 11:26:10 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <48C15DA2.6060800@rice.edu> (raw)

Hi all

I am implementing a language by generating OCaml code for input source 
and using the OCaml native code compiler. However, I've run into a 
strange problem.

On using my code generator on a large program, I generate a file 
containing about 75K lines of OCaml. The native code compiler takes more 
than 30 *minutes* to compile this file!  The bytecode compiler takes 
about 5 secs.

I ran the native code compiler without any -inline or other 
optimizations and its still the same.

For smaller OCaml files, the compilation time is ok for me. For example, 
it takes about 12 seconds to compile a 15K line OCaml file.

Any ideas why this might be happening and how I can deal with this?

Thanks
Raj
