There is no question that this should be handled automatically, but that requires somebody pre-process the source files and generate additional dependencies. It would nice if the compiler took care of that, or we would need to parse the source files in some task, collect the new dependencies, and use them in the cl task. Not exactly clean, but if someone wanted to do it, I'm sure a patch would be considered. I'm no expert on C++ dependencies, but I'm sure there are some other issues in there too. This doesn't sound like a trivial exercise.
In VB and C# the other dependencies are libraries and resources primarily. As these are referenced in the tasks that compile the source files, it is easy to check if they have been updated. This makes it much easier to do the right thing. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Castro, Edwin Gabriel (Firing Systems Engr.)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > The only downside to this method is that you need to know the > dependencies ahead of time and manually put them in the build file.
