Now HERE Is A Compiler Benchmark!

The c source code for the Secure Hash Function proposed by the U.S.
Government as part of Capstone took almost 15 minutes to compile on my
computer (486DX2-50, 16 meg ram running OS/2). The compiler was IBM
C version 3.0. Note that the code is completely OS independent.

I've now compiled this code on Linux and Unix machines. In both cases
the compilation was instantaneous. I think that VAC is doing something
strange in the way it handles #define macros.

Are you referring to the "Secure Hash Algorithm"? Uh, I think it's 
FIPS-80... How many lines of code is it? My implementation of SHA
is only about 200 lines long, totally OS independent, and takes about
1 second to compile on my Pentium. I'm not sure if we're talking about
the same thing, though...

That's it. The code is not large, but #define macros are used to
generate most of the code. My machine took so long to compile this
code that I aborted the compiler 3 times thinking that it had gotten
into an infinite loop. Finally I just did something else until it
finished ( a long time later!) I'm running Warp Connect on a 486DX2-50
with 16 meg ram and no off-chip cache.
