Yes, that helped quite a lot. One last thing: currently it takes me about 6 minutes to rebuild the compiler after I change the core pass. Are there any tricks of the build system I can use to speed this up? I'm already using a fast build without optimizations and docs...
Hmm. Some things that help with this for me are to: 1) Compile with -j12 (or lower, depending on your hardware spec) 2) Compile with "cd compiler && make stage=2" to only build the stage 2 compiler (if this isn't already happening). Make sure the stage 1 compiler is built with optimisations! (I use the stage2devel configuration, which already does this) This reduces compile times to a few minutes for me. Still tedious, but not too bad. Hope that helps, Max
