Creating a Precompiled Source File
Hey, does anyone know how to create and use precompiled C++ source code in Microsoft Visual Studio 2005? I have a class that I like and would like to not have to hunt it down and bring the source with my every time I want to use it. From my understanding this is the same technique most compiler manufactures use to hide/make more efficient the code to things such as the istream and ostream classes and things of the sort. What I mean is all I would have to do is include the header file for the class, like the iostream header file, and I wouldn't have to mess the source code every time I use the class.
Thanks |

Yes, use them all the time. They are the default. But they don't do what you are asking. What you want to do is to create either a DLL or a static library. Then in the header file you create for it you can use a paragma to force inclusion of the *.lib file. |

Re: Creating a Precompiled Source File
Different topic, a new thread might attract people who know a lot about creating libraries but not precompiled code.
