TIDE Linker ridiculous slow!!!
My recent project includes several source files and lots of functions(!).
- Recently, as more funcions were added, the link time grew from a few (5-10) seconds to a ridiculous >10 minutes!!! Application size= 160KB, stack size= 54 bytes (aprox values)
- The solution was to replace funcion/sub calls with the code itself!!! The application file size grew a lot, but I managed to reduce the link time to 10-20 seconds.
- Is this caused by the growing call stack? I noticed the link time grew enormously when the stack space grew over 50 bytes.
- Last week, more functions were added (application file size= 171KB, stack size= 60 bytes) and the link time grew to 4 minutes - my CPU is a Pentium DualCore at 3 GHz, not a rather fast machine, IMHO.
- Just for the record, the project I developed before this one, has application file size= 68KB, stack size= 48 bytes and takes 1 second to link!
Now, what seems to be the problem with tlink.exe???
(TIDE version is 2.9.21beta, Jul 22 2009)

Inappropriate?Hey Alex,
Please try this recent build with a fix for this issue:
http://tibbo.com/downloads/secure/tid...
Let me know if it works out OK for you!
-
Inappropriate?Thanks, T-bone.
1- I downloaded the new version of TIDE, 2.20.1 and installed it.
2- Then I rebuild the whole project - compile times were normal, 1-2 seconds each file.
3- Unfortunately, link time remains ULTRA-SLOW, about 4-5 minutes (and growing...). FYI, application size= 181KB, stack size= 60 bytes
There must be a solution to this issue, today I had to fix a few bugs and each time I rebuilt I had to wait 5 minutes, instead of seconds!!! This is really annoying :-(
-
Inappropriate?Just one more hint:
1- When TIDE is (slooowly) linking, I exit TIDE
2- Then I press Ctrl-Alt-Del to enter Windows Task Manager
3- In the process list, "tlink.exe" is still running, using all available CPU time! CPU usage peaks at 100%
4- I click on "tlink.exe" and end the process: everything turns to normal! CPU usage returns to 5-10%
Is this normal???
-
Inappropriate?Thanks, I have asked our engineers to take further look into the matter. If you wish, you could send me an email at support@tibbo.com and it will be easier for me to track the issue since I am not actively monitoring this forum. :)

Inappropriate?Was wondering if the new TIDE worked out OK?
-
Inappropriate?Downloaded and installed version 2.20.2 beta:
worked OK, total link time now is 1-2 seconds :-)
(app size= 181KB, ram= 10KB, stack= 60B)
Thank you for your help!
I’m happy
