Hello, dear all,
In the VS2005, Project Release Configuration, the default option of
"General | Whole Program Optimization" is "Use Link Time Code
Generation".
I find when use this option, the size of the objects and output is
vary large. The object use this option, which size is 10 times of the
one w/o it.
Is this normal?

I've found that with LTCG on, the intermediate .obj files are
larger, but the output .exe is usually about 25% smaller. This is
because some of the work is saved until the link phase, so more
intermediate information needs to be kept. LTCG costs disk space and
time, but I've found that it's worth it.

In my test, the output is the static library, so, the linker will not
do any work to it. So my static library is very fat.
Your 25 percent smaller is compared to what?

The linker will do the work when it makes the final exe. My 25%
smaller is a comparison based on LTCG being on/off. I added a project
configuration-- 'Release' vs 'ReleaseLTCG'. The final exe is about 25%
smaller when LTCG is on.

Thank you!
You also mentioned it's worth to turn it on. Have you do the
comparison to the efficiency before?

Have you used, Enable function-level linking
(Code generation)? That throws out unused
routines/segments. I can't imagine you getting
25% any other way. FLL is probably implicit
with LTCG.

Someone raised the question of automatic code generation a few weeks back.
And yes, we (CCPN) are using automatic Python code generation in a major
way. Basically we are making data models in UML, and using automatic code
generation to make Python APIs, XML I/O etc. (more below). We can be found
at http://www.ccpn.ac.uk/index.html
As a general point, automtic code generation would seem like a good idea

Hi,
After Brian mentioned the use for <link rel=..> for navigational
purposes in another thread, I've been looking into it and found that
HTML 3.2 has two other recognized link types than HTML 4.01, which are
"top" and "search". I compared these two pages:

Hi,
Sorry to repost, but this is becoming aggravating, and causing me a lot of
wasted time. I've got a reasonably large mixed C++ project, and after a
number of builds (but not a constant number) linking (and sometimes
compiling) becomes immensely slow, and task manager shows that link.exe (or
cl.exe) is barely using any processor time, but an awful lot of RAM (around
150-200MB). I'm going to keep an eye on page faults since I can't...

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
