Package: libstdc++6-dev Version: 3.4.0-2 Severity: normal libstdc++6-dev package includes pre-compiled headers in /usr/include/c++/3.4/i486-linux/bits/stdc++.h.gch/ directory.
These "system-wide" precompiled headers occupy 35 megabytes (on x86), and look to be useless, given all the limitations gcc precompiled headers support currently has (i.e. same set of #define-s whe headers are generated and used). Precompiled headers may be used by a project, but not system-wide. If there is some rationale to have system-wide precompiled header files, probably they should be packaged separately. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (620, 'testing'), (600, 'unstable'), (550, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.6-1-k7-smp Locale: LANG=ru_RU.KOI8-R, LC_CTYPE=ru_RU.KOI8-R Versions of packages libstdc++6-dev depends on: ii g++-3.4 3.4.0-2 The GNU C++ compiler ii gcc-3.4-base 3.4.0-2 The GNU Compiler Collection (base ii libc6-dev 2.3.2.ds1-12 GNU C Library: Development Librari ii libstdc++6 3.4.0-2 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 -- no debconf information
