My file (slow.cpp), which contains a huge map literal takes 630 seconds to compile with gcc 4.8, while the same code would compile in 16 seconds with clang. Additionally it seems to compile fine if changing the generated code to instead use assignment (which was fine for our purposes as a workaround) rather than a huge initializer list; which suggests exponential behaviour. That would compile in 30 seconds with gcc 4.8 and under a second with clang. I'm attaching the two above mentioned files.
