Description tt_1 2021-03-30 16:11:00 UTC 
I noticed this while testing a fix for the crashreporter error: 

firefox-87.0 with gcc-9.3.0 is 40 minutes
firefox-87.0 with gcc-10.2.0 is 51 minutes

The situation seems to be really bad for gcc-11 snapshots 

I'll link a corresponding gcc upstream bug

please assign this to toolchain, the hotfix for firefox is in another bug. Thank you!

If different default c++ standards are used that's sometimes expected on template heavy code if it has more 'enable_if' in libstdc++.

You'll need to find out where time increase comes from: maybe these a few individual files, or maybe it's a time increase for most compilation units.

For a single-threaded build -ftime-report added to CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS might be good enough to extract timing information.

For a multithreaded build you might need to pass a wrapper that measures time as CC/CXX wrapper to extract useful data.

Thanks for your input to the problem, this bug was intended to be a proxy bug so to speak for the gcc upstream bug I linked in the see also section. The problem is a lot worse for gcc-11 than gcc-10, if you read the upstream bug and don't think this is relevant for gcc-11 porting that's fine by me, but I'm unable to make that judgement.
Comment 7 Sergei Trofimovich (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2021-04-02 19:36:11 UTC 
Ah, I keep missing the 'see also' section.

Does adding -Dalways_inline= to CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS restore original build time for you?
Comment 8 Thomas Deutschmann (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2021-04-02 20:07:42 UTC 
Note that our firefox patch set contains upstream code change to mitigate the performance issue.
Comment 9 Joonas Niilola gentoo-dev 2022-09-28 12:48:38 UTC 
Seems like the patch has been merged upstream long time ago.
