The map is only part a short-lived visitor object inside the analyzer 
and is used to map svalues to other svalues (in most cases <15 kv 
pairs). I'm new to GCC, so I started of using what I knew. Only later, 
I have noticed that the unordered_map is used little to nowhere. It is 
not much effort to change it but I just wondered whether the usage is 
so low because GCC only lately switched to C++11 or other reasons. The 
responses answered my question, thanks.
