    Default problem with linking

    hi, I've a problem. sometimes my application COMPILING (.net2003) goes very slow (some minutes). Seems it's going slow on mainform.ui.h. What can be the problem? thanks
    Qt Code:
    1. Generate imagecollection
    2. Compiling...
    3. mainform.cpp
    4. mainform.ui.h(476) : warning C4100: 'action' : unreferenced formal parameter
    5. mainform.ui.h(996) : warning C4100: 'val' : unreferenced formal parameter
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
    my app seems are stopping here above

    The warning might not be the only reason for your compilation to become slow. The problem might be somewhere else also.

    Qt Code:
    1. mainform.ui.h(476) : warning C4100: 'action' : unreferenced formal parameter
    2. mainform.ui.h(996) : warning C4100: 'val' : unreferenced formal parameter
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    These warnings mean that you are passing the parameters action and val is some function but you are not using them anywhere in the function.

    Do you have any includes in the .ui.h file? If so, could you post respective lines here?

    Qt Code:
    1. #include <iostream>
    2. #include <qfont.h>
    3. #include <qtimer.h>
    4. #include <qdom.h>
    5. #include <qfiledialog.h>
    6. #include <qprinter.h>
    7. #include <qstatusbar.h>
    8. #include <qpainter.h>
    9. #include <qrect.h>
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    sorry, I don't sure to understand.
    Mainform.ui.h is a file created from desinger; I haven't included it anywhere...compiling is succefull, but now is became slow; where do I include it??

    Your includes are fine, it's not a problem with them.

    The linking itself should have more or less constant time. The compilation time may vary. Are you sure it is the linking phase that is so time consuming?

    no I'm not sure; I see if I do ; nmake clean; qmake; nmake; on nmake it seems stop on this:
    Qt Code:
    1. qmake_image_collection.cpp
    2. Generating Code...
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
    then if I change mainform.ui.h and type nmake it seems stop on mainform.cpp

    If it really is mainform.cpp, maybe you can comment out (temporarily) certain parts of the code in that file to see what might be causing it (though making sure it's still compileable)? Divide and conquer, etc.
    Was there something you changed recently that caused the slow linking? Added any libraries?

    If it's always been slow, I'd just go ahead and blame Microsoft.

    Then it might be caused by a large number of includes or cycles in inclusions. Try using precompiled headers and don't double include items in .ui.h and designer implementation section. It's enough to include in one of those places (as .ui.h is included into generated implementation file).

    only possible recursive incude is "mywidget.h" put in mainform.ccp from compiler, and a ponter to mainForm* w, member of mywidget class (inside mywidget.h, but I need it there!!). anyway I use
    Qt Code:
    1. #ifndef MYWIDGET_H
    2. #define MYWIDGET_H
    3. .......................
    4. #endif
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
    in mywidget.h. Can it be? can I avoid?

    First of all try to use precompiled headers and see how much it helps (it will help much, but if it help too much it means that you may have some include cycles or something like that).

    sorry for question, but what are the precompiled headers? I think you're refer an .net option but wich? I choose generate automatically and don't change nothing in compiling..; others get errors...
