Package: gcc-3.3
Version: 1:3.3.5-13
Severity: minor

I tried to compile flite (Festival Lite, the speech
synthesizer) using gcc. One of the source files is a
7.5-megabyte C file with no includes and the only thing it
contains is a single array of the form

const char array[]={142,152,276,371,
... and so on for 7.5 megabytes (automatically generated)

Why does gcc need well over 250 megabytes of RAM to compile
this?  My 128M system was not up to the task.  I was later
able to compile it without problems on a system with 1G of RAM.

Automatically-generated arrays like this are reasonably
common enough to warrant an effort to compile them more
efficiently, especially for the benefit of people who don't
have the latest hardware to compile on.

You filled the bug http://bugs.debian.org/361637 in Debian BTS
against the package gcc-3.3. I'm closing it as fixed in *unstable*,
but it will remain open for older distributions.

For more information about this package's removal, read
http://bugs.debian.org/536776. That bug might give the reasons why
this package was removed and suggestions of possible replacements.

Don't hesitate to reply to this mail if you have any question.

Thank you for your contribution to Debian.
