Description Dodji Seketeli 2015-08-17 13:35:49 UTC 
It appears that on some C++ programs, libabigail is missing some type canonicalization opportunities, leading to very long time spent during type comparison later in the ABI comparison process.

We need a way to easily spot those missed type canonicalization opportunities so that we can investigate them, reduce their number and thus improve comparison time.
