During subsequent compilations, the compiler will load the stored state, and continue compiling the specified file. Each subsequent compilation is faster because the stable code does not need to be recompiled.</p> +<p><em>qmake</em> supports the use of precompiled headers (PCH) on some platforms and build environments, including:</p> +<ul><li><p>Windows</p> +<ul><li><p>nmake</p> +<li><p>Dsp projects (VC 6.0)</p> +<li><p>Vcproj projects (VC 7.0 & 7.1)</p> +</ul><li><p>Mac OS X</p> +<ul><li><p>Makefile</p> +<li><p>Xcode</p> +<li><p>GCC 3.3 and up</p> +</ul><li><p>Unix</p> +<ul><li><p>GCC 3.4 and up</p> +</ul></ul><a name="ADD_PCH"></a><h3><a name="2"></a>Adding PCH to your project</h3> +<a name="PCH_CONTENTS"></a><h4><a name="2-1"></a>Contents of the precompiled header file</h4> +<p>The precompiled header must contain code which is <em>stable</em> and <em>static</em> throughout your project. A typical PCH might look like this:</p> +<h5><a name="2-1-1"></a>stable.h</h5> +<pre> + /* Add C includes here */ + + #if defined __cplusplus + /* Add C++ includes here */ + #include <stdlib> + #include <iostream> + #include <vector> + #include <qapplication.h> // TQt includes + #include <qpushbutton.h> + #include <qlabel.h> + #include "thirdparty/include/libmain.h" + #include "my_stable_class.h" + ... + #endif +</pre> +<p>Note that a precompiled header file needs to separate C includes from CPP includes, since the precompiled header file for C files may not contain C++ code.</p> +<a name="PROJECT_OPTIONS"></a><h4><a name="2-2"></a>Project options</h4> +<p>To make your project use PCH, the only thing you need to change in your project settings (.pro), is to include the PRECOMPILED_HEADER option:</p> +<pre> + PRECOMPILED_HEADER = stable.h +</pre> +<p><em>qmake</em> will handle the rest, to ensure the creation and use of the precompiled header file. You do not need to include the precompiled header file in HEADERS, as qmake will do this if the configuration supports PCH.</p> +<p>All platforms that support precompiled headers have the configuration option <b>precompile_header</b> set. Using this option, you may trigger conditional blocks in your .pro file, to add settings when using PCH.
