Title: Auto save on Build
Post by: Multinode Nick on November 17, 2006, 04:14:33 pm

Hi guys,

I have a little concern about the auto save of source code files on build. I hope it's not an already available option that I missed, C::B is still new for me.

When I modify a class, I change the class.cpp and class.h (the auto swap is really useful). But when I compile my class.cpp, the only saved file is the file with the current focus (class.cpp) so the compiler doesn't see the alterations I made to the header file.

When you know that, you can SaveAllFiles at every change to avoid this limitation, but it's an automation that C::B could do better than me ;-)

If it was only for my lazyness, I wouldn't annoy anobody with it, but this C::B behavior can cause some headhache for less experimented programmers because the IDE will show errors on .H lines that may be already corrected but not saved.

Nic

Try adding your headers to the project.

Oh you're right, I was building out of projet code...

Thanks.
