i experience slower compile times with VC++ 2003 compared to VC+6.0.
Anyone experiencing the same?
Should that be expected?
This ineed matters, when total compilation time is > 1h and you have to wait
10-50% longer...

I think the idea is that you are likely to have a build computer up to
5X as fast as that which was available when VC6 was first released (in
1998) so a 50% increase in compile times shouldn't affect you too much.
The improvements in the VC7.1 compiler (in terms of conformance,
optimization, possibly flexibility and maintainability , etc.) probably
account for the slower compiles.
Some switches obviously increase compile times (for example, whole
program optimization).

Could you give an example you are seeing this. Sometimes, there might be
some features or switches you are using which cause the slowdown.
Mostly they have workarounds too.
Thanks,

Of course the build computers (> 10 infact) are much faster, but
unfortunately the software grew faster...
We do not use whole program optimization.
As we still have projects using VC++6 the slower compile times catch
attention easily.
I wonder if VC++2005 get better or worse (even more conformance and
optimizations)

For example (C code) i measured (with P4 1,5Ghz, 1GB) 16% longer compile time
for Active Perl v5.8.6 Build 811 with 2003 as with 6.0. (makefile unmodified)
ACE (Adaptive Communication Environment which consists of many C++
templates) was even 50% slower. With a custom (proprietary) makefile compiler
switches are the same for 6.0 and 2003 :
-nologo -MD -O2 -Z7 -GR -GX -G5 -X -GF -EHa -Od -Og -Os -Oy -Ob1 -Gs -Gy -c

I haven't timed it, but my seat-of-the-pants estimate is "about the same".

Dear MS VS .NET 2003 users,
so far I used MS VS 6.0 SP5 for a rather large C++ project. Now I want
to migrate to MS VS .NET 2003. First tests however showed that
compilation and most notably linking is significantly slower with the
new software. Linking a release build took about 15 seconds with 6.0
and now takes about 60+ seconds (already using /OPT:NOREF /OPT:NOICF).
For debug versions, it took about 3-4 minutes with 6.0 compared to 10...

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.
