Hi all,
Not trying to start any sort of a war, but for us precompiled headers
are simply a massive NO NO. for others they may like them, say like
MFC programmers :)
I agree with Gordon on this. The problems precompiled headers bring far
outweigh the build speedup. In addition to Gordon's points, in my
experience, the pch files will get out of sync pretty often, leading to
cryptic build errors where it is necessary to delete the pch files and
regenerate them to be able to build again.
OSG is a library, which means it should only be built occasionally
anyways. Even in my case, testing builds all the time, I build it at
most once a day and then it's incremental builds and I don't mind
letting it go in the background. Even when testing submissions, it's
largely a non-issue as any sane compiler (which includes VS in this case
:-) ) will only recompile changed files, except if you changed a header
in which case it will recompile the files that included that header
(which is still not that bad).
I agree with Gordon, any submission in this direction should be OFF by
default, and you should be prepared to support any problems related to
the submission.
