llvm dev - Jul 2017 - Linking bugpoint - memory usage

Hello,

I have been trying to build LLVM and the build is stuck in Linking CXX
executable bin/bugpoint since a long time. I was wondering how much memory
is required for the linking of this tool? The memory usage shows that 32G
has been already used up.

Thanks,
Priyanka

Priyanka,

bugpoint requires a lot of memory to link, especially if you are running
a debug build. Try -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release to reduce memory usage.
