  for (std::string OptionName : {
#define GET_CHECKER_OPTIONS
#define CHECKER_OPTION(TYPE, CHECKER, OPTION_NAME, DESCRIPTION, DEFAULT,       \
                       RELEASE, HIDDEN)                                        \

#include "clang/StaticAnalyzer/Checkers/Checkers.inc"
#undef CHECKER_OPTION
#undef GET_CHECKER_OPTIONS
       }) {
    Result.Options.insert(OptionName);
  }

This code is doing a lot of unnecessary work at runtime. For each of the (currently) 59 checker options, it runs Twine(AnalyzerCheckNamePrefix).concat(CHECKER ":" OPTION_NAME).str(),, which allocates a string (all of this is unrolled, leading to code bloat). Then it copies all those strings (because std::string OptionName, not const std::string& OptionName). All of this can be done at compile time!

Thank you for submitting a Pull Request (PR) to the LLVM Project!

This PR will be automatically labeled and the relevant teams will be notified.

If you wish to, you can add reviewers by using the "Reviewers" section on this page.

If this is not working for you, it is probably because you do not have write permissions for the repository. In which case you can instead tag reviewers by name in a comment by using @ followed by their GitHub username.

If you have received no comments on your PR for a week, you can request a review by "ping"ing the PR by adding a comment “Ping”. The common courtesy "ping" rate is once a week. Please remember that you are asking for valuable time from other developers.

If you have further questions, they may be answered by the LLVM GitHub User Guide.

You can also ask questions in a comment on this PR, on the LLVM Discord or on the forums.

AnalyzerCheckNamePrefix is not used it, change it into macro, in such case it could be "configured" properly.
