Summary: rc-files are not regenrated/recompiled if included
files change
Description:
This is a follow-up to http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=4068.
Windows resources (.rc) may make use of preprocessor macros, not limited to, but
including '#include <filename>' [1].
Consider a generated project.h that defines:
#define PROJECT_REVISION ...
and project.rc:
#include "project.h"
VS_VERSION_INFO VERSIONINFO
...
VALUE "FileVersion", PROJECT_REVISION
...
Obviously PROJECT_REVISION may change which regenerates project.h, but
project.rc does not depend on project.h and hence is not regenerated/rebuilt.
Hence the "FileVersion" in the Properties -> Version tab may be outdated.
Thus: .rc files should be scanned for #include and depend on those.
