Hi,

#include<string>
will generate the error : "cannot generate pre compiled header : code in
header"
or, worse, with other STL files: "initilized data in header".
Without pre-compiled headers, compile time will increase beyond what I can
bear.
Of course, I could do without the pc-headers but on the other hand : you all
must work with something suitable.

I dont know if this was posted here before, but a search has not
enlightened me...

Any suggestions ?

You could try being clearer about your problem.

What version are you using?

What is <string>?  Files that are #included normally have extensions, and
they're normally .h.

The normal course of these errors is if you've defined (not just declared) a
non-inline non-template function or initialised global data in a header file
instead of using a source file.  But why it's doing it with standard library
headers, I don't know.  Is it definitely not getting to something you've
written before reaching this stage?

Ralf,

I have found the same thing - the STL header files cannot be put into
pre-compiled headers.  I haven't found any workaround other than avoid the
situation.

The STL (standard template library) is always included this way, please read about that in the help files...

No, definitely not my fault.
I have written some templates myself, including something like a std::vector.
Those files work with PCH, the Rogue Wave implementation will not.

Of course, we could use the Borland string class (include <cstring.h>) but my project forces me to use the STL.

Hi Dominic,

I think I remember a posting in this newsgroup about a jear ago, on the same topic.
However, that has been deleted by now (there isnt any archives, is there ?)

How do you "avoid it" ?

Just dont use std::vector<MyClass> ??

Winnie

I don't avoid using std::vector<MyClass>, I just avoid using it in headers I
have in the PCH.  Sort of a pain, but I have a fast computer, so the slow
down in compile speed is not a huge issue.
