RE: [GD-Windows] another devenv problem

[Lewin, G. <gl...@ea...>]

Well you could create a master .cpp file, #include all the .cc files in
it, and make all of them non-build files. It will work, and as a side
issue it will improve you build speeds.

RE: [GD-Windows] another devenv problem

[Jon W. <hp...@mi...>]

It will improve your full re-build speeds. However, it will 
make the incremental relink-relaunch cycle more painful. Also, 
we found, just when doing one of these gang files per library, 
that there are many files with dependencies on actually being 
a separate translation unit, because of naming of statics, or 
macros, or helper classes, or whatever.

We got this mechanism working, and used it for over a year, 
but we've stopped doing it now. Full builds are less common 
than single-file re-builds.

Cheers,
