| rindolf | rbastic: now I'm working with C++. |
| rindolf | rbastic: I found out that my project compiles really quickly. |
| rindolf | rbastic: under 5 or 10 minutes on a P4-2.4GHz with 1 GB of RAM. |
| rindolf | rbastic: maybe KDE is making g++ look bad. |
| rbastic | rindolf: yeah, I'm not a big KDE fan |
| rindolf | rbastic: actually I'm using KDE-3.5.8 here. |
| rindolf | rbastic: I was talking about the compilation speed of KDE apps and KDE itself. |
| rindolf | rbastic: possibly because each file has half-a-gazillion headers. |
| rindolf | My C++ code is a server one, so we don't have too many deps. |
| rbastic | yeah, isn't there a way to cache header files? ie. in their "compiled" form? |
| rbastic | or is that something I'm remembering from some other programming language that purported to build on top of C? |
| rindolf | rbastic: MSVC has that. |
| rbastic | ahh, nods |
| rindolf | rbastic: no, Visual C++ has precompiled headers. |
| rindolf | rbastic: I remember that I kept deleting them. |
| rbastic | yeah, couldn't remember |
| rbastic | lol |
| rindolf | Pascal compiles very quickly. |
| rindolf | That's one of the things I enjoyed in Delphi. |
| rbastic | ugh, the app I'm been maintaining in Java was originally a fat client/server desktop app, written in Delphi |
| rindolf | rbastic: ah. |
| rbastic | i remember booting up the old app for the first time, and being amazed at how slow it was |
| rbastic | eventually, i had to duplicate a feature in the Java code and i wasn't sure how it was implemented before |
| rindolf | rbastic: you mean the Java app is faster? :S |
| rbastic | so being as i had no Delphi experience, and the newer Delphi environments made NO sense to me at all, i just opened up the SQL Server query analyzer |
| rbastic | rindolf: yes, but only b/c the Delphi programmer was an idiot, issuing queries over and over again needlessly |
| rbastic | rindolf: if you could've seen the MSSQL Performance Analyzer or whatever, it was basically just.. Query1, Query2, Query3, Query1, Query2, Query3, repeat. |
| rbastic | it was probably the worst I've ever seen in my life.. belongs on www.thedailywtf.com |
