#391 C++ Include checks are not recursive

[Robert Blum]

Example: Derived.cpp includes Derived.h. Derived.h
includes Base.h. Touch Base.h, and nant will happily
ignore the change.

(Also, once implemented, the recursive search should
terminate at the precompiled header, if there is any.
And at least for larger project, that dependency tree
should be cached...)

I don't have time to work on this right now. You don't happen
to volunteer for this ?

Ugh. I was afraid you'd ask.

In fact, reading through the mailing list and the bug DB I
get the feeling I'm the one of the very few who seriously
uses Nant & C++ ;)

But OK - as soon as I come up for air from my current tasks,
I'll look into this. Have you guys given any thought and/or
code to recursive dependency tracking at all? (I.e. caching
of intermediates, updating dependencies through the compiler
or by hand, etc...)

Basically, anything to get me started ;)

I've attached a fix for this issue to this bug report, but I'm not
committing it in its current form as it sucks both performance
and implementation wise ...

Not seeing it. Are you sure you attached it?

I've got a couple of ideas how to make this work decently
and will take a look this weekend, if you want me to.

[Gert Driesen]

quick and (very) dirty fix

Robert, you are not the only poor soul still stuck in C++. So when is this going to make it into the release?
