RE: [GD-Windows] VC++ lag

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

We just create a non-writable zero-size file with that name,=20
which means we don't have to worry about having to delete it=20
(or spend time writing the info :-) all the time. You do get=20
a warning when you open the workspace, but that's allright.

What's worse, though, is that we don't seem able to factor=20
our project into DLLs as fast as we grow the project, so we=20
keep hitting the 64 MB limit for single PDB files :-(

It's really quite amazing how Microsoft can develop these=20
tools and they just don't scale well. It's all good as long=20
as your project is some 10,000 line report generator, but=20
for a large-scale commercial system, it's really quite lame.=20
Almost makes me wish for the days of GNU make, VIM and=20
CTags...

(which we could do, because we generate .dsp and .dsw files=20
out of an abstract project description file that looks a lot=20
like a make file, anyway)

Cheers,
