--- Comment #1 from Richard Biener <rguenth at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
Confirmed. The initializer is not unreasonably large IMHO but is certainly the
problem.
clang++ uses 500MB for me when not optimizing, g++ 4.8 and g++ 5 around 200MB.
Starting with g++ 6 we use gigabytes.
Seems to be caused by libstdc++ changes given g++ 7 preprocessed source uses
as much memory with g++ 5 as with 7 (even worse, at 12GB and still
compiling...)
