Hello,

The C++ front end pushes everything through the compiler queue after
writing a PCH. This is pointless: After the PCH is written nothing the
compiler does has any effect on it anymore.

This patch makes the C++ front end stop after writing the PCH,
speeding up PCH creation

The C front end has behaved this way since 2004
(http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2004-07/msg00738.html).

Bootstrapped&tested on powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu and x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.
OK for trunk?

Ciao!
Steven



        * decl2.c (cp_write_global_declarations): Return after writing a PCH.

Ok if C++ frontend maintainers don't complain over the weekend.

Thanks,
Richard.

Committed now.
BTW I forgot to mention I also did a build+test with this patch and
with gcac checking enabled.

Ciao!
