[cfe-dev] [libc++] much longer build time of my project using libc++ 5.0 vs 3.5.2

merging thread.. I have precompilation configuration for my project, and by enabling it, the build time is 100 minutes. but since precompilation introduces some other issues (cmake doesn't support precompilation so we have to use some custom script, which is not perfect), we still prefer to building the code without precompilation, if any other option is available.


I don't have a test case yet, but our use of c++ stl is quite common, vector, wstring, map, set, etc. wstring is used a lot since the code was ported from Windows to linux. On windows side we use msbuild, which only takes 50 minutes to build the whole project. Of course this is not comparable due to compiler difference, but we are targeting to make Linux build time to be close to that of Windows.

Do you have some sort of test case?  For example, a standalone .cpp file which includes a bunch of libc++ headers, and which now takes much more time to compile?

It would be interesting to see where this regressed, if it did.

+1. I would love to see a test case here.

Hi, my project has been using libc++/c++abi 3.5.2 for two years, and recently I am upgrading it to libc++/c++abi 5.0, only to find that the build time for our project increased dramatically, from 100 minutes to 160 minutes on a 6-core intel-CPU, same situation for both debug and release build. The compiler is clang 5.0. The comparison is pretty fair - same machine and compiler, same codebase, the only difference is the C++ headers. Is there a way to improve? It's kind of blocker for our adoption of libc++/c++abi 5.0, as it takes too long for our developers to build.

Thanks a lot.
