3. I am so frusterated with how slow MSVC is
I can't tell you how frusterated I and my coworkers are with "MSVC 7.1 .net
2003" (what am I supposed to call this thing anyway?).
Compiling and linking take twice as long with "MSVC 7.1 .net 2003" than with
MSVC 6. My coworkers are angry at "MSVC .net 7.1 2003" and they're angry at
me for pushing it (due to better C++ compliance).
The problem is so pronounced, I'm shocked that this message board isn't full
of people complaining. My guess is that our project is somehow different
and "MSVC 7.1 .net 2003" has an extra hard time with it. We have 68
projects with approx. 15 files in each project. We use wxWidgets.
Also very frusterating is the way the IDE stops responding when doing things
like a) preparing to compile b) compiling c) linking. Even starting the
IDE is a painfull experience, but luckily I only do that a couple times per
day.
Not to mention that when I change one .cpp in one of my projects, "MSVC 7.1
.net 2003" slowly loops through all the projects to see if anything needs to
be recompiled and does a very time consuming full link. Makes it very
difficult to make quick changes and debug (unlike MSVC 6).
If MSVC didn't have such a wonderful breakpoint/watch-window interface, we'd
have moved to distcc builds on cygwin. Faster and the makefile approach
allows for different configurations without putting togeter a billion .sln
and .vcproj files (maintenance nightmare).
I'm sorry to sound like a crank, but I am just so worked up and have to come
vent every month or so.

4. Why Am I Getting TheseTwo Linker Errors?
5. Slow compiler/linker (Borland C++ Builder 5)
Hello,
We bought new computers to speed up our developing environement (Borland C++
Builder 5):
Old computer: AMD Athlon XP Processor 1700++, IDE HD and 1 GB RAM
New computer: Intel Pentium 4 3200, SCSI HD and 2 GB RAM
We use the same project to test the speed. Both computers need the same time
to
compile and link the project? We thought our new computer must be much
faster
than the old one.
We had also compared the two computers with a benchmark program,
the Intel is about 2 times faster than the AMD.
But why is the Borland compiler so slow?
Has anybody an idea?
Regards,
Gter

7. Fast Compile, but slower and slower Builds
I'm developing a C# Windows CE 5.0 Application.
The Solution that I'm working with has only one project containing files for:
- the main form
- 4 or 5 forms which are used as modal dialogs
- 3 user controls
If I launch studio 2008 and do a "Rebuild All" (without any code changes)
After 2 seconds I see (in the output window):
Compile complete -- 0 errors, 0 warnings
Then the progress bar at the bottom stays at about 40% for another 10 seconds
until I see
Done building project...
======= Rebuild All: 1 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 skipped =============
Just for fun, I did another "Rebuild All" (again without any code changes)
"Compile Complete" shows after 2 seconds, but I have to wait 30 seconds for
the "Done building project"
Another "Rebuild All" (again without any code changes) took 45 seconds
The next time it took 52 seconds
The next time it took 60 seconds.
**** At this point I closed Visual Studio, re-opened it and re-built the
solution (again - no edits) ****
Compile time 2 seconds, build time 15 seconds.
What's going on? How do I fix this? This increase in build time is really
killing me.
Any help will be very appreciated.
