"Automatically linking..." and build performance

It appears that every file that has a extreme toolkit include statement generates a "Automatically linking..." message during compilation. A single file may generate multiple "Automatically linking..." messages depending on how many of my gui components are based on extreme toolkit components (one file including references to other project includes files that themselves have extreme toolkit include statements).

Although I use #include <XTToolkitPro.h> _only_ in stadfx.h as told here, I have multiple messages about "Automatically linking with XTP..."!

This is because each GUI DLL has to have XTP included in its stdafx.h and when I include one of my own header files in another header file (between modules), then I get multiple messages about linking with XTP.

Can this be avoided somehow? Maybe you could add a simple #pragma once into XTToolkitPro.h in some next release?

Thank you, in advance!

I assume I would see your #pragma message("TEST") many times, since we don't use Precompiled Headers and each source file includes stdafx.h.

Do you mean XTP users are obliged to use PCH if they don't want to have one "Automatically linking..." message per source file during compilation?

Hello,

We have currently the same problem.

All the files use "Create Precompiled Headers" and our StdAfx.h file uses '#pragma once'.

Please help.
Regards,

Yes :

One DLL using XTToolKitPro
--- Another one using the previous DLL and also XTToolKitPro
------- Application using the two DLLs.

It seems to be linked with managed code (CLR).

Yes, that's what we did.

The managed code (CLI/CLR) seems to be responsible, because when compiling in Debug mode, only the managed files produce the "Automatically linking ..." problem. When compiling in Release mode, the managed files are compiled at first and then all files produce the problem.

Please note that it occurs in the second DLL project, not in the final application.
