I was able to speed my compile time earlier with the help of this newsgroup. I have realized that as my program compiles faster I program quicker. But as I program more code, my compile time lengthens, and I eventually hit an asymptotical point where it takes forever for me to get anything done... My program is 110k+ and it takes a while to compile. Most of it doesn't change per re-use though. I was wondering if I could parts of it into objects. I tries this on my own for about 8 hours with little sucess. I got a few minor things to run, but when I tried to 'objectify' my massive amount of code, it gave me errors that looked something like : Repeated code found in line such and such. This error isn't exact, but its been a couple days since I tried it. Now I sincerely need a speed boost, and I was wondering. If the objects are per-compiled, would this speed up the time it takes me to compile and test an executable. Sorry for the mega newbie question. I just normally put all my code in one file.. but that isn't cutting it... This sounds dumb, but I really have a small clue about how objects work... Does the compiler make objects, and then the linker puts them together?
