Error description
When compiling a large program using -O3, the complile time drastically increases than compared to compiling t -O2 or without any optimizations. eg: When using -qphsinfo, the detailed compile time output can be observed: $xlC_r -qoptimize=3 -qphsinfo -qtmplparse=warn -q64 -qfuncsect -qrtti=all -qlanglvl=newexcp -qeh=v6 -qutf -qtabsize=4 -D__IBMCPP_TR1__ -qtbtable=full -c -o BulkImport.o BulkImport.i -+ Front End - Phase Ends; 8.405/ 8.413 IPA - Phase Ends; 74.070/ 74.250 W-TRANS - Phase Ends; 10.480/ 10.490 OPTIMIZ - Phase Ends; 6636.230/6692.010 REGALLO - Phase Ends; 186.540/249.420 AS - Phase Ends; 0.130/ 0.140 IPA - Phase Ends; 74.070/ 74.250 $

Problem summary
USERS AFFECTED: User compiling a large program with optimization may be affected by this issue. PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The compile time problem was caused by the alias information generation for the function descriptor during a specific optimization within xlCcode.
Problem conclusion
The compiler has been fixed to reduce some overheads in the computation of the aliasing of the function descriptor.
