amount of changes to be implemented. The slowdown problem may be
solved as in
GCC, adding a compilation switch that gives/removes the column number (it
uses to be switched off on default, now after the competition by Clang
it's
switched on on default).
Switching it off will have no effect on compile speed.
Why is that? What would cause a loss in compile speed even if this
option was turned off?
