HOLY COW! Luke, there has been no progress on this for ~6 months. I could test 2 systems of my own and comment on the bug report. It would not be soon, probably at least a week, but what's a week if you wait 6 months? I have an RK3399 board by firefly and an HP Stream Notebook with unupgreadable or replaceable RAM and disk. Perfect candidates for this test. I would preferably use Gentoo Linux, does it matter?
not in the slightest. the more the better
However, luke, have you, or anyone else, tried to trigger this with llvm's gold linker?
no.
Yes, that's right, 6GB for 1 gcc process! And I've seen gcc use 7GB!
gcc is fine as (ok this is what i was told 15 years ago) there's detection built-in to utilise available resident RAM, dynamically.
And that's not all, have a bunch of files to back up? Dar-2.5.17 (Disk ARchiver)(latest). Using bzip2 -9, NOT XZ -9! compression single threaded! RSS (part way through!) 14.8GB I have to talk to the dar devs.
RAM is not cheap, what is this FLOSS world coming to?
the assumption is, you're on an x86 64-bit system, with 32-64GB of RAM and a 3200mbytes/sec NVMe SSD, so why should you care?
