Re: How to use precompiled header?

[Hei Chan <structurechart at yahoo dot com>]

Even closer this time.
The B.cpp file only has one line -- #include "B.h"
Instead of using the gch file generated by the g++ command in the make file.
I manually ran:
g++  -fPIC -O -O3 -DUSING_PCH -D_REENTRANT -I"/usr/local/include/boost" 
-I"/usr/local/." -I"/opt/xerces-c-3.1.1/src" -x c++-header A/B.h.gch 
A/B.h

Then, I compiled my own project with "-include A/B.h" in Eclipse, I got
cc1plus: warning: /opt/3rdPartyLib/src/A/B.h.gch not used because A/B.h.gch created with -gnone, but used with -gdwarf-2

Then, I recompiled the gch file with -gdwarf-2, and recompiled my project again, I got:
cc1plus: warning: /opt/3rdPartyLib/src/A/B.h.gch not used because 
`_REENTRANT' is not defined

Then, I recompiled the gch file with -D_REENTRANT, and recompiled my 
project again, I got:
cc1plus: warning: /opt/3rdPartyLib/src/A/B.h.gch not used because 
`__NO_INLINE__' is defined

I just wonder whether there is a simple way to use a precompiled header....

Thanks in advance.

That is compiling a .cpp file, not a .h file.  gcc will not generate a
PCH file if you compile a .cpp file, it will generate an object file.

If that .cpp file is really a header file with an unusual name, then
you can use the -x c++-header option to get gcc to generate a PCH.
