MSVC:
Visual Studio has /Bt (see VC++ Team Blog post) and /d2cgsummary (see my blog post) flags, and while they don’t contain much information and the UX of them is “a bit lacking”, they are at least something.
/Bt prints how much time “frontend” (preprocessing, parsing - everything that is about the “C++ language”) and the “backend” (optimizations and final machine code generation – much less specific to C++ language) takes.

As a future note:
Clang and GCC have this flag: -ftime-report
