Thread: How do you assign a "Button" a task ?

Really? I see a big fat checkbox named "Precompiled header" when creating a new console application. PCH is for any time of project, not just Windows ones.

Exactly. So what are you disagreeing with? In this thread, the code that gave the problem (that you wrote) had no prototypes. Therefore, there is no need for any headers and no need for precompiled headers.

I wasn't disagreeing with that - I was disagreeing with that it adds complexity that you have to show the code in your headers, especially the stdafx.h one. If you have prototypes, then you should have a header. And if you have a header, then you should show your header, too. And if you can show the contents of a header, then you might as well show the contents of the stdafx.h header, because... well, it's just a header.
And it's fine to merge the headers with the rest of the code when posting it here.

Heh. I agree that discussing whether to teach PCH or not won't get anywhere because we have different opinions, so there's no use discussing it.
