llvm dev - Jun 2019 - Tablegen ridiculously slow when compiling for Debug

Hi Florian,

Ok, I ran this:

cmake -S LLVM -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=INSTALL -DLLVM_OPTIMIZED_TABLEGEN=On -G
Xcode

Compiled it again from clean, and the situation is worse than before.
Incremental builds take an incredible amount of time stuck in running Tablegen
scripts for all targets. Now this happens both in Release and Debug
configurations. Just before this, at least Release compiled fine, but that’s no
longer the case.

Any other suggestions?  What could actually cause this? 

Thanks
John

Hi Praveen,

Please, can you elaborate on this?. What do do mean by “building as shared
objects”.

Thanks,

John
