@goldstein -fsyntax-only for GCC does a little bit more than the front-end (silly internal reason is that some error message happen during gimplification; been trying to fix that for 20 years now).

@goldstein GCC used to be able to handle that in a reasonible time. I wonder where the slowness is now. I had sped up the front-end back in early 2000s to handle lookups with a lot fields too. If I get some time next week I will see what is going on with GCC. It either could be a front-end issue or middle-end one.

Here is a rant for all of the programmers out there. file sufixes are not a good way to detect a specific type of file. STOP assuming my .md files are markdown files. They are machine description files. Markdown is a hack for those who want something more than plain text but don't want to learn LaTeX.

@dalias funny really funny because the sh backend in GCC recently has been helping find latent bugs. I just pushed a fix for one today (https://gcc.gnu.org/r15-2700 ).
