[Quantlib-dev] How all.hpp files are called on visual c++

[MoonDragon <phi...@gm...>]

Hi,

I would like to know how the files all.hpp are called (since they are
automatically generated) and what is there purpose.

Thanks and regards,

MoonDragon

They were added as a convenience.  If you include an all.hpp folder,
it recursively includes all the headers in the same directory and
those in its subdirectories.  You can use it when you want to write
some code quickly and you don't want to enumerate all the specific
#include you need.  However, be aware that it causes the compilation
times to go up, since you might be including quite some stuff you
don't need.
