i was unable to find some usefull information at microsoft.com, but
perhap someone here known a URL...


im looking for a list of preprocessor-switches and in special a switch
that gives me list of includes, because i have some kind of non-
trivial circle-includes in my include-files and i'd like to see, if i
compile foo.cpp for example, _what_ files are included in _which_
order.

TIA, .rhavin;)

The compiler swtches for VC6 are documented here:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/aa236704(VS.60).aspx

As far as I can tell, there isn't a switch that will do exactly what
you're asking.

A utility you may find useful is doxygen, which can produce graphs of
#include dependencies:

http://www.doxygen.org

You'll also need to install Graphviz:

I hope this helps,

Chris

In VC6, I'm afraid you're limited to using /I and processing the #line
directives with perhaps Perl. In later versions, you can use the
/showincludes option.

Hm, there are undocumented switches. E.g. "-o" for output spec, as with other
compilers... So perhaps the now documented "/showIncludes" existed but was
undocumented with VC6?

Just a thought.

Anyway, it's generally a good idea to upgrade to a more standard-conformant
compiler, e.g. a later version of MSVC.


Cheers, & hth.,
