Global include of a file

[Momergil]

Hello!

I'ld like to know if there is a way in Qt/qmake to command the inclusion of a given file (a header, in my case) in all files/headers/sources (a "global include") so avoiding having to set a #include "myfile.h" in all headers of my project (much like what a DEFINES in a .pro file makes when creating a definition that is valid for all files in the project).


Thanks,

Momergil

Defines is passed as an argument to the compiler which then passes it on to its preprocessor.
I haven't heard about any compiler which provides a way to provide include directives to its preprocessor.

What do you need this for?

GCC has an "-include" option that does this, but it is not quite the same as actually including the file.

For Microsoft's tools see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8c5ztk84.aspx

Isn't Google grand

Well remember the QtGlobal namespace that is available in all files of a Qt-based project? (or at least a Qt Widgets one). Well I'ld like to do the same: create a namespace inside a .hpp and a .cpp and then make them available to all files of my project but without having to add a #include "mynamespace.h" at top of all those (dozens of) files :)


Thanks, Chris, for the answer!

Then why not do the same like qglobal.h if this is the effect you'd like to have.
They don't need any magic for that either.

Well, and what would that be exactly? :X

Btw, I found this post (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/571568/is-there-a-way-to-include-a-header-in-every-compilation-unit-without-modifying-e?rq=1) in StackOverflow which quite answer the same question I posted :)

Using C/C++ preprozessor #include directives.
If you do a file content search in the Qt sources, you'll find lots of them
