Looking at our memory usage with Instruments when debugging a large application
we say that the vectors of DWARFDebugInfoEntry objects were the highest on the the list. With these changes we cut our memory usage by 40%!!! I did this by reducing the size of the DWARFDebugInfoEntry from a previous: uint32_t offset uint32_t parent_idx uint32_t sibling_idx Abbrev * abbrev_ptr which was 20 bytes, but rounded up to 24 bytes due to alignment. Now we have: uint32_t offset uint32_t parent_idx uint32_t sibling_idx uint32_t abbr_idx:15, // 32767 possible abbreviation codes has_children:1, // 0 = no children, 1 = has children tag:16; // DW_TAG_XXX value This gets us down to 16 bytes per DIE. I tested some VERY large DWARF files (900MB) and found there were only ~700 unique abbreviations, so 32767 should be enough for any sane compiler. If it isn't there are built in assertions that will fire off and tell us. llvm-svn: 144975
