The default inlining-limit is 350, so the expansion from 100 is quite possible.
But the problem here is that gcc chokes on the compilation of the C file. So… what are the compilation options passed to gcc?
- are you using --enable-single-host ? - are you using a higher level of optimization such as -O2 or -O3 rather than the default -O1 ?
These will definitely increase the pressure on the C compiler. Also, some versions of gcc do a better job at compiling large C files. The file lib/_io.c in the Gambit distribution is about 90kloc and I have never gotten an OOM error from gcc while compiling it, even though I use a “make -j 8” (8 C compilations in parallel). I do have 16 GB of RAM on my machine… how much RAM do you have on yours?

It's 140kloc without the inlining declaration and just 22Kloc with the declaration.

I’m just wondering if this should be classified as an issue, or if the inliner is just doing its work as expected.

It seems it's the inliner going haywire -- if I add a (declare (inlining-limit 100)), then it compiles in 20s.
