Bug 199789 – gcc memory leak during compilation of kmail

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Pawel Sedrowski 2007-11-20 15:35:44 UTC]

While compiling kmail gcc needs about 1,5 GB of memory - I've got only 1 GB of RAM so you can imagine the swap usage and computer responsiveness... I think this problem is connected with the kmail source code, because I did not observe anything similar with other applications I emerge. I deleted the ebuild and resynced, I also deleted and downloaded again kmail package - it didn't help.

gcc-4.1.2
kmail-3.5.7-r2

It reaches 1,5 GB when I see:

and I kill it here (can't use the computer :-/ ).

Reproducible: Always

There's a fat EXPERIMENTAL sign attached to the kdeenablefinal use flag. Simply don't use it.
