Tool/software: TI C/C++ Compiler
we seem to have run into a long compiler stall with the TI compiler when building our TM4C129x projects.
We do not see the issue compiling smaller projects or libraries with just a dozen or so source C++ files.
It seems when we cross a certain number of source C++ files we hit a stall. The compiler seems to just freeze for almost 5 minutes!
After it finally recovers it continues compiling and linking with no errors displayed in the console window. The generated output files are fine.
We have verified this only to be an issue with the TI compiler as we have a mirror build for a PC target using most of the same source files (less the TM4C target specific files) using the gcc compiler.
It has no issues and does not stall.
We have tried several different versions of the TI compiler (including the latest TI v16.9.3.LTS) and all have the same symptom.
We have also tested on different versions of CCS on both Linux and Windows all show the same symptoms.
we do not see any disk activity when the stall occurs.
We initially thought it was do to the linker but after it recovers it continues to compile the last few source files and then links so I assume its not a linker issue.
If I just do an incremental build after touching just a file or two it does not stall. If I do a clean and build the stall reappears.
This is really impacting our whole development team to the point we are investigating moving the whole thing to the GNU Linaro compiler and junking TI's compiler altogether.
Any ideas?
