• abc4567 slow linker time: Link.exe excessive PF delta

  Recently a dll that use to link in under 1 minute has started taking over 20 minutes to link. During that time, link.exe isn't using the processor at all and it is constantly page faulting. The mem usage on link.exe is around 60 MB. When my co-workers link the same project their link time is normal with link.exe fully using the processor and consuming around 250MB. Any ideas on how to force link.exe to use more memory so it isn't constantly pag ...Show All

• SMOwais LINK.EXE BUG: /OPT:NOREF option doesn't work!

  My program contains static objects whose constructors are supposed to run at the beginning of the program, but otherwise those variables are  unreferenced . The problem is, when I put these variables into a .lib file, they get completely optimized away and never appear in the resulting .exe! My understanding is that /opt:noref is supposed to cure this, however, it has absolutely no effect. I also tried __declspec(selectany) on the vars, al ...Show All

• km5gn implementaion of unwinding

  I have troubles finding information on this subject, so I'll try to ask here: What kind of unwinding mechanism implementation is used by VC8.0 Is it the same old and slow 'update structure on the stack while we go' (like it was up to VC7.1) Or MS finally decides to go after GCC & others by separating successfull execution path on compile stage (which is significantly more efficient) Bye. Sincerely yours, Michael. ...Show All

• Sonic_Molson ATL

  Using Visual Studio .Net 2003. I created a DLL ATL Project using the New Proj. Wizard. Noticed that the generated class is declared and defined solely in the .cpp file, i.e. there is no header. Three questions: 1. From this, I gather that the methods of the class are to be implemented in the class itself I like this because I like defining all class functionality in one file. 2. Also, is no header is needed for ATL COM objects because ...Show All
