[cfe-dev] How long should a compile of a single C file with a vast number of macros take?

[David Blaikie]

Assuming the program does actually terminate, you could probably remove
some amount of stuff from the macro or some number of macro calls to reduce
the severity but still demonstrate the contrast (5 sec to 5min, etc or
whatever).

once you've got something that finishes, assuming it still demonstrates a
substantial performance difference, you could look into profiling, etc -
and/or simplifying the code to provide a clear reduced example for other
people to investigate
