Hi All,

I have an strange (to me) issue, where trying to compile a header
which has a single "std::unordered_set<std::string>" initialized with
around 50K short strings is taking forever (its been more than 20 mins
since I started).

The set is declared as:

const std::unordered_set<std::string> my_set ({"item1", "item2", ....});

I understand that creation of many strings has an overhead, but this
during compilation, not runtime.

Can someone explain to me why it takes such a long time to compile?
Keeping the strings to under 5K, makes the program compile in about 8
secs.

I'm using the following compiler on Linux:
$ g++ --version
g++ (Ubuntu 9.2.1-9ubuntu2) 9.2.1 20191008
