If c++ modules becomes supported it could go down but actually you should request that in the clang mailling list. We open a translation unit for every file and they are that big. We research precompiled header to improve speed and maybe they provide advantages in memory usage too.

For small opening 3-4 sources file this take almost 870mb in memory with no precompiled header being checked plus qtcreator eats 280mb with 2gb Intel celeron and this is definitely not desirable for me. I have feature request whether is this possible to put heavy c++ symbol data in sqlite file with multithread concurrent access mechanism instead to keep clangbackend memory usage being low? _______________________________________________ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
