…ith GCC This improves compilation time by a total of 16m by disabling the GCC feature "Variable Tracking Assingments." The trade-off for disabling this feature is reduced debuggability if anyone needs to go through the object file pysairedis_wrap.o with a debugger. Please see the background below for details. This was identified via the following issue in the SWIG project: - swig/swig#2384 (comment) This is a performance issue in GCC specifically, not CLANG. Results: On a server with the following specifications, the build time for libsairedis went from 20m23s down to 3m50s.
