Hi,
I work on Qt in vs2003. I notice there are many compiler settings making
me confused.
Would you like to share your experience on how to save compiling time
without care of speed or size of the exe? What is the better settings
combination?
I never tried to time how long does a build take with different
settings ... bug I can offer a guess:
The Microsoft compiler is fast (with optimization or without), so what
I guess matters the most is the size of your object files ... thus,
the best thing to do would be to optimize your code for size and make
sure you are not generating any debug information.
If it's the linking that takes long ... you could try incremental
linking. Incremental linking used to screw up from time to time and
then you needed to rebuild your whole project ... but I've last tried
this feature long time ago (probably not with vs2003), so may be it's
better now.
Anyway, the most important thing is memory. For bigger projects,
doubling the memory in your computer can cut the compile (especially
link) time by a factor of five.
Also restructuring your project so that less sources need to be
recompiled every time you make a change could help.
Martin.
