Error description

  • (COB V5.2)  Compile time with OPT(1),STGOPT under COB V5.1 is
    40 times greater than OPT(FULL) compile under COB V4.
    

Local fix

  • Compile with OPT(0).

    ****************************************************************
    Programs that have large amounts of stores and aliases spend a
    large amount of time calculating copy propagation in common
    sub-expression elimination.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Copy propagation was altered to calculate results based on the
    smaller set of information it has available to it, the list of
    stores or the list of aliases. Providing significant compile
    time reduction for some programs.
    

Temporary fix
