Is this correct? Yes, this is correct, because "-x c" tells the compiler to treat the file as a C source file rather than what the default would be based on the file's extension. So, you're getting the same result you would get if you renamed the file "foo.c" and compiled it using "gcc -c foo.c", which is the expected behavior. Sorry I can't help you for the precompiled headers, though... Cheers, Lyle Taylor
