[cpp-netlib-devel] Compile-time Reduction Effort

[Dean M. B. <mik...@gm...>]

Hi Guys,

So I'm on a meagerly-powered machine and I cannot buy a new one until
I get a job (my wife insists :D) so I've made some steps to start
reducing the compile-times of release 0.8. One of the first casualties
in the compile-time reduction effort is the Boost.Concept_check stuff
on the fundamental accessors/wrappers.

Now there are still a lot of other things I can do to start reducing
compile-times. One is incorporating precompiled headers into the
build, and start pre-compiling almost every single header in the
library.

Has anyone played around with CMake and how to make precompiled
headers part of the build process? I have seen some Google results on
the matter but I currently have no time/patience to muck around with
that.

I'm nearing the completion of the asynchronous server that invokes
request handlers in a thread pool and although the compile times have
been reduced in the HTTP client side of things I would really
appreciate some CMake kung-fu from people on the list to incorporate
precompiled-headers (so that we can make that part of the install step
in 0.8).

Thanks in advance and I hope to hear your comments/feedback.

The relevant change in 0.8-devel to remove the Boost.Concept_check
stuff on the fundamental message accessors is here:
