What is the purpose of this work? Why is it desirable to be able to "precompile" a header file in the sense that you describe? >>And how would you handle > > #ifdef FOO > #include "foo.h" > #endif > > > As specified in the post and illustrated by my exampleÂ- Sorry, I missed that. How would you handle #ifdef FOO #define X "foo.h" #else #define X "bar.h" #endif #include X ? Ian
