Thread: making changes to a header

how come when i recompile my source after making changes in a header file... the program doesn't update...

example... if i had string in the header that i wanted to edit... the edited string wouldnt show up in the program after i recompiled it...

Post some code man!

ill post some example code... im just talking in general

example.h

Code:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

// Prototypes
void Say();

//Definitions
void Say()
{
     cout<<"Hello thel;asdlf";  // Not what i want
}

example.cpp

Code:

#include "example.h"

int main()
{
     Say();
     return 0;
}

This output after compiling would be...

>Hello thel;asdlf

So if i wanted to change this... id make the following correction

example.h

Code:

...
void Say()
{
     cout<<"Hello there!";  // This would be what i wanted
}
...

However, if i recompiled the project... it would still output

>Hello thel;asdlf

On Dev-C++, it will only recompile the source if the source in the cpp file is edited, so just change something in the main cpp file and change it back, like removing a space or something and press F9 again, it is anoying though but this is how I do it.

I see the Rebuild All... i always wondered what that was for...
thank you
