Sharing precompiled headers across several projects

Hi!

I have several projects (approx 50) that includes basically the same
files such as <atlcom.h> and <comdef.h>. The projects are set up to
use a precompiled header wich includes these header files (<atlcom.h>
and <comdef.h>) and that works fine. But since these files are used in
all the projects and every project have a separate precompiled header
these files get compiled a lot of times. Is it possible to do anything
about this? Is it possible to share a pch among the projects? I think
i saw something once about that it wasn't possible to share .pch
across projects if .pdb's where used but that was for VC 4 i think.
Any comments/suggestions?

Regards
Daniel

Hello, This question is related to sharing .Net projects across solutions and is reposted from the SourceSafe group. We have several different solutions and want to share common assemblies across them. Is it best to share the project and its files to each solution (each solution has it's own shared project), or have each solution point to the same file location of the project?

Several C++ compilers now allow precompiled headers, supposedly as a compile-time optimization. I personally do not use them, although I code mostly in VC++ (which has a tendency to shove PCH down your throat), because: a. When headers are lumped together into one huge entity the code loses a sense of who-uses-what, or so it seems to me. I like to be able to know from the include directives of each file as much as I can about the...

Hi ! What is the common use of sharing a single .cs across multiple project files ? I think it's to share common classes between projects. I have actually a .cs file shared accross multiple projects in a same solution. It's nice to have a common "set" of Classes. Is this the only way to share classes between projects ?

I have created a class which I wish to reuse amongst several projects. But each time I Add the class to a new project, it creates a copy of that class in the folder of the new project. This means that when I make changes to that class, I have to apply the same changes to all the projects. Is there a setting that I have missed such that I can share one class amongst several projects? -- Tinius

Is there anyway to share a single pch file between projects in VC 7.0? I have 300+ projects each of which creates its own pch. All projects include the exact same header files in the precompiled header. Its takes about 7 seconds to create the precompiled header for each project. That's 35 minutes spent creating precompiled headers for all project! All of the projects use PDB files for debug info. I tried creating Precomp.pch in project...

Hi All, I was wondering if it is possible to use precompiled headers without having to include a <stdafx.h> or whatever in every source file. My problem is that I have a project that makes heavy usage of a large third party library which means after pre-processing each translation unit is around 1meg in size. There are reasons though why I cannot use the standard approach to precompiled headers. What I would like to do is somthing like...

I'm working with a group that's been doing C++ coding for quite a long time, now, and in that environment we've pretty much worked out development practices that serve us well. We've been doing more and more, over the last few years, in C# and ASP.NET. Some web apps, some background services. In our C++ code base, we have a fair number of statically-linked libraries that contain code we share between projects. At this point, in our...

Hi there guys, I've recently purchased "Sam's Teach Yourself C++ Fifth Edition" (About a week before the 6th edition came out) I'm trying to work through the book, but in trying to compile Hello World, I keep getting an error instead of it making the program.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
