Has anyone else noticed that packet-parlay.c (in plugins/giop/) takes a
_very_ long time to compile? I recently upgraded from Fedora Core 4 to
Fedora Core 5 and now it takes around 10 minutes to compile it (on my
1.6 GHz Pentium 4); I seriously thought the compiler was hung it was
taking so long...
I think, that I did the latest changes on this file and I did not
notice such a problem. Which version is it exactly, that you are
using? I'm running Debian testing/etch on amd64.
I have Fedora Core 5 with:
gcc (GCC) 4.1.0 20060304 (Red Hat 4.1.0-3)

Of course I have no clue how long it used to take and I don't have an
(easy) way to test this on other versions or platforms at the moment--is
anyone else seeing anything like this?
Maybe you could send me the file off-list and I will look, whether
there are differences to my version.
I sent you the file.
I had done a "make maintainer clean; svn up; ./autogen.sh; ./configure;
make" so I hope everything got rebuilt correctly.
Maybe it's a compiler bug--it won't be the first time I hit one of those
compiling Ethereal :-)
