The Jaguar dev tools specifically claim to have "Faster compilation
times
due to a new precompiled header mechanism." But OMM the first
compilation -
the only one that was ever slow - is still slow, pausing for ages
during
the compilation of main.c. If this isn't what's faster, what is?
Have I
misunderstood the point of the precompiled headers? Thx - m.
Project Builder "pauses" for such a long time because it's indexing
all the
frameworks' headers.
In that case may I humbly suggest that what was needed was not
precompiled
headers but pre-indexed headers? I hope this is something Apple will
consider for a future release. This (a faster initial compile) is one of
the main things I was looking forward to in Jaguar; alas, I
misunderstood
what was coming. m.
Yes, precompiled headers are a very good thing, but preindexed headers
woud be great too. IMHO, one good thing would be to have preindexed
headers for the system frameworks that doe not have to be rebuilt and
copied for each project but rather be somewhere just for the own project
builder use. Little/medium projects would be much more lighter (easier
to compress and distribute without first removing indexes) and quicker
to recompile on a new machine (the first recompilation). I Agree this
would not change a lot for very big projects, but it would be very
interesting for others for sure (e.g.:example code compilation). Is
there something technically hard there or is it something possible?
PS : This thread should be better in the PB list, shouldn't it? But I'm
not in that list...
