[Shaders] Shader compilation is slow for shaders with massive amounts of shader_features

Shaders

-

Shader with >100 million possible variants (via shader_feature/multi_compile) is having shader import time problems.

Surface shaders to have problems (known issue, each variant is doing an analysis step). But this one is supposedly a non-surface shader.

    This is marked as fixed, but I am experiencing this exact issue on 5.5.2f1. I combine about 18 shader features, and shader compile/scene load times are absolutely excruciating. Are there any details on this "fix"?

    I reported my issue as case 825137 which was determined to be a duplicate of this one.

    With the new unity 5.5 returning more verbose compiler errors this is what I get:

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end, expecting TOK_SHADER

    This happens after an extremely long time so it must be something in the generated intermediate shader code -nothing on my part.

    Having same issues, when we get to over 100 million variants compile time is awful and scene loading is starting to suffer aswell.

    I combine 18 shader_feature, and the unity take almost 8G memory when loading, and extremely slow.
