> The sensible way to speed up compilation 5x was implemented almost 10 years ago, worked amazingly well, and was completely ignored. I don't expect progress from the standards committees. Here it is if you're interested: https://github.com/yrnkrn/zapcc
Of course it was completely ignored. Did you expect the standards committee to enforce caching in compilers? That's just not its job.

Again—do you expect the standards committee to enforce usage of this compiler or what? The standards commitee doesn't "standardize" compilers...
