Hi
how to include a *.pch? (precompiled header?)
It should be loaded before other files?
Thanks

Hi Michael,

if you search for "eclipse cdt pch", you get to http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/mv/tree/148765/#page_top

Hope this helps. Smile

Best regards,
Paul

Thanks, but I saw that before. I'm looking for a simple g++ command line solution that I could simply paste into Eclipse properties. Also I only have the *.pch nothing else.

The *.pch should only be created if the headers have changed, so I'd created a Makefile (precompiled.mk) for this purpose and add "make -f precompiled.mk" pre-build-command (only if the performance gain from the precompiled headers is more than you suffer from an additional make-invocation).
Would be cool to have a way to define generation rules for derived files and for sure, especially support for telling CDT to create and automatically update pch-files.

I'm not very experienced, so I wonder why I should bother about precompiled at all? Will the app run faster or only the compilation?
The file looks as below. How could I include that as normal header?
Many thanks

If you don't change the *.hpp-files (e.g. Logger.hpp) corresponding to the *.pch-file than you don't have to bother with this at all.

See http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.4.1/gcc/Precompiled-Headers.html#Precompiled-Headers: "the compiler looks for a precompiled header in each directory just before it looks for the include file in that directory." .

You don't even *need* *.pch files. It's just to speed up compilation.

Hope this helps.
