We're developing a C++ library with currently over 500 hundred individual .cpp files. These are each compiled and archived into a static library. Even with a parallel build, this takes some minutes...

I am trying to refactor some code. My approach (using vi) is to copy my old libraries from /lib to /lib2. That way I can hack out big sections, but still have a framework to refactor. So I go ahea...

During our build process we run aspnet_compiler.exe against our websites to make sure that all the late-bound stuff in ASP.NET/MVC actually builds (I know nothing about ASP.NET but am assured this ...

I am using coffeescript+ruby-on-rails. The compilation of coffeescript into pure JS leads to an error if there is a syntax problem in the coffee code. On the browser when I run the app, I get this ...

The autogenerated PrecompiledApp.config is causing me some headache. Im automating the deployment of an older web site and 50% of the time when I deploy I get this error: System.IO.IOException: Th...

Here is a small piece of code : String a = "abc"; Console.WriteLine(((object)a) == ("ab" + "c")); // true Console.WriteLine(((object)a) == ("ab" + 'c')); // false Why ?

I am thinking about the following problem: I want to program a microcontroller (let's say an AVR mega type) with a program that uses some sort of look-up tables. The first attempt would be to loca...

Looking at the Handlebars.js documentation for precompilation. The instructions are for OSX. Can this be done on Windows as well? If so, when they say to "install node and npm" does "node" refer ...

I have a web-project running in VS 2008. We have some global resource files (*.resx) in the App_GlobalResources folder for internationalisation. All this works like a charm on my local IIS installa...

I would like to pass some options to a compiler. The option would have to be calculated at compile time - everytime when 'make' is invoked, not when 'cmake', so execute_process command does not cut...

Are fewer checks/less rigorous code analysis required to provide development environment error feedback and auto completion for programming languages that are composed largely of human-readable phr...

I know that in the past there was an option -fprefix-function-name that would add a prefix to all generated symbols, it doesn't seem to be part of gcc anymore. Is there any other way to do this?

EDIT 4, 5 and 6 8 hours in, any more ideas are welcome :) Maybe this bug is already known and solved, but I get the behaviour I described in edit 2&3, when you have this in a .css.erb file in ...

Running: bundle exec rake assets:precompile RAILS_ENV=production Takes about 6 minutes for 15 .js files of about 250kb total. It should not take this long surely? I see the 'Microsoft Console Ba...
