Hi,

I just read http://sources.redhat.com/automake/automake.html#Examples
but didn't find anything on PCH.
Would it be possible to include a 'Hello World' style use of PCH?

Hello Olaf,

Automake does not currently provide support for PCH out of the box.
Sorry.  There have been several discussions about this on the automake
lists.  Let me point to some informative posts:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.sysutils.automake.general/5467/focus=5504
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.sysutils.automake.general/11619/focus=11628
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.sysutils.automake.general/3098/focus=3108
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.sysutils.automake.general/4099

I will probably not hack on this myself (both due to time constraints
and IMVHO limited portability/usefulness of PCH), but if somebody else
wants to pursue it, I'd help.  The above discussions can give some
insight into the issues around this.

Hope this helps.  If you have a good solution, even if it's just for
your project, feel free to post it here; we can link to it from the
FAQ or so, or even put it in the manual if it is sufficiently general.

Thanks,
Ralf

Hello Olaf,

Automake does not currently provide support for PCH out of the box.
Sorry.  There have been several discussions about this on the automake
lists.  Let me point to some informative posts:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.sysutils.automake.general/5467/focus=5504
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.sysutils.automake.general/11619/focus=11628
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.sysutils.automake.general/3098/focus=3108
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.sysutils.automake.general/4099

I will probably not hack on this myself (both due to time constraints
and IMVHO limited portability/usefulness of PCH), but if somebody else
wants to pursue it, I'd help.  The above discussions can give some
insight into the issues around this.

Hope this helps.  If you have a good solution, even if it's just for
your project, feel free to post it here; we can link to it from the
FAQ or so, or even put it in the manual if it is sufficiently general.

Thanks,
Ralf

PCH is IMO very valuable. GCC, ICC and MSVC support it, I'm not sure
about other compilers.
I've read your concerns, but I think they're not an issue.

It would be nice to add PCH support to the Hello World example. I
think this requires two steps:
1. Compile config.h into config.h.gch
2. Add config.h.gch as a dependency to all source files.

Could you (or someone else) help me with those? I've got no experience
with automake but I assume they're trivial for someone with
experience.

I think I found a way, at last:

config.h.gch: config.h

Thanks for the explanation.  With my present reply, I'm registering it in the
appropriate entry of the bug tracker, for future reference.

Not personally, but the latest versions of automake are starting to provide
support to allow/facilitate compilation with MSVC on MSYS/MinGW (credit for
this mostly goes to Peter Rosin).  The NEWS entries from the latest 1.11.2
version of Automake contain:

  - The `compile' script now converts some options for MSVC for a better
    user experience.  Similarly, the new `ar-lib' script wraps Microsoft lib.

  - New macro AM_PROG_AR that looks for an archiver and wraps it in the new
    'ar-lib' auxiliary script if the selected archiver is Microsoft lib.

Thanks for the tip.

Have they? AFAIK they're equivalent.

Both have a step to generate the PCH. VC builds stdafx.h via
stdafx.cpp, GCC builds a header file directly. Both basically require
the header to be the first include for PCH to be usable.

I don't think that's doable and it certainly shouldn't be the first goal.
Deciding which headers should go into the pch header is a manul process.

I'm not using automake to target VC. :p

Why not? It can drastically reduce build times of C++ projects. I have
little experience with C projects, but I assume it speeds those up as
well.
Conceptually, it's also simple to implement (for someone with automake
knowledge).

Do automake users not care about build times?
