Builds a Microsoft Visual C++ precompiled header. Calling this builder method returns a list of two targets: the PCH as the first element, and the object file as the second element. Normally the object file is ignored. This builder method is only provided when Microsoft Visual C++ is being used as the compiler. The PCH builder method is generally used in conjuction with the PCH construction variable to force object files to use the precompiled header: env['PCH'] = env.PCH('StdAfx.cpp')[0]

Builds a Microsoft Visual C++ resource file. This builder method is only provided when Microsoft Visual C++ or MinGW is being used as the compiler. The .res (or .o for MinGW) suffix is added to the target name if no other suffix is given. The source file is scanned for implicit dependencies as though it were a C file. Example: env.RES('resource.rc')

Options added to the compiler command line to support building with precompiled headers. The default value expands expands to the appropriate Microsoft Visual C++ command-line options when the &cv-link-PCH; construction variable is set.

Options added to the compiler command line to support storing debugging information in a Microsoft Visual C++ PDB file. The default value expands expands to appropriate Microsoft Visual C++ command-line options when the &cv-link-PDB; construction variable is set. The Visual C++ compiler option that SCons uses by default to generate PDB information is /Z7. This works correctly with parallel (-j) builds because it embeds the debug information in the intermediate object files, as opposed to sharing a single PDB file between multiple object files. This is also the only way to get debug information embedded into a static library. Using the /Zi instead may yield improved link-time performance, although parallel builds will no longer work. You can generate PDB files with the /Zi switch by overriding the default &cv-link-CCPDBFLAGS; variable as follows: env['CCPDBFLAGS'] = ['${(PDB and "/Zi /Fd%s" % File(PDB)) or ""}'] An alternative would be to use the /Zi to put the debugging information in a separate .pdb file for each object file by overriding the &cv-link-CCPDBFLAGS; variable as follows: env['CCPDBFLAGS'] = '/Zi /Fd${TARGET}.pdb'

The Microsoft Visual C++ precompiled header that will be used when compiling object files. This variable is ignored by tools other than Microsoft Visual C++. When this variable is defined SCons will add options to the compiler command line to cause it to use the precompiled header, and will also set up the dependencies for the PCH file. Example: env['PCH'] = 'StdAfx.pch'

The command line used by the &b-PCH; builder to generated a precompiled header.

The string displayed when generating a precompiled header. If this is not set, then &cv-link-PCHCOM; (the command line) is displayed.

A construction variable that, when expanded, adds the /yD flag to the command line only if the &cv-PDB; construction variable is set.

This variable specifies how much of a source file is precompiled. This variable is ignored by tools other than Microsoft Visual C++, or when the PCH variable is not being used. When this variable is define it must be a string that is the name of the header that is included at the end of the precompiled portion of the source files, or the empty string if the "#pragma hrdstop" construct is being used: env['PCHSTOP'] = 'StdAfx.h'

The resource compiler used to build a Microsoft Visual C++ resource file.

The command line used to build a Microsoft Visual C++ resource file.

The string displayed when invoking the resource compiler to build a Microsoft Visual C++ resource file. If this is not set, then &cv-link-RCCOM; (the command line) is displayed.

The flags passed to the resource compiler by the RES builder.

An automatically-generated construction variable containing the command-line options for specifying directories to be searched by the resource compiler. The value of &cv-RCINCFLAGS; is created by appending &cv-RCINCPREFIX; and &cv-RCINCSUFFIX; to the beginning and end of each directory in &cv-CPPPATH;.

The prefix (flag) used to specify an include directory on the resource compiler command line. This will be appended to the beginning of each directory in the &cv-CPPPATH; construction variable when the &cv-RCINCFLAGS; variable is expanded.

The suffix used to specify an include directory on the resource compiler command line. This will be appended to the end of each directory in the &cv-CPPPATH; construction variable when the &cv-RCINCFLAGS; variable is expanded.
