I'm just curious what Afx stands for. And what about Fx in FxCop?

A file named stdafx.h is automatically generated when I start a project in Visual Studio 2010. I need to make a cross-platform C++ library, so I don't/can't use this header file. What is stdafx.h ...

How to specify a precompiled header to the output of CMake (2.8.12.1) AUTOMOC ? So far, in the CMakeLists.txt I've tried these two separately: set(AUTOMOC_MOC_OPTIONS "-bstdafx.h") set(AUTOMOC_...

When I compiled this program (from C++ Programming Language 4th edition): main.cpp #include <stdafx.h> #include <iostream> #include <cmath> #include "vector.h" using namespace s...

I have a Visual Studio C++ based program that uses pre-compiled headers (stdafx.h). Now we are porting the application to Linux using gcc 4.x. The question is how to handle pre-compiled header in...

I understand what precompiled headers are doing with "#include "StdAfx.h" and yes, I know I can turn them off. But that's not my question. If you're using precompiled headers, Visual C++ requires ...

I see so much code including stdafx.h. Say, I do not want pre-compiled headers. And I will include all the required system headers myself manually. In that case is there any other good reason I sho...

I've got a bunch of legacy code that I need to write unit tests for. It uses pre-compiled headers everywhere so almost all .cpp files have a dependecy on stdafx.h which is making it difficult to br...

I can't get intellisense to work. Even if I start with an empty project and add just one file to it with only an include for iostream and an int main() function that prints a char with cout (basica...

I just have a quick question. I've noticed that I don't have stdafx.h in my compiler(mingw32 on windows) Am I supposed to have it? Or maybe is there a way to get around it? Thanks for reading ED...

What is the proper way to use stdafx.h, in terms of separating dependencies? If I put everything in there, then my compiles are blazing fast, and all I need to say in any file is #include "stdafx...

It seems that when I set the option to /Yu, it just uses whatever pch there is, without checking if it needs to be updated, meaning it would keep a list of headers it precompiles and check if those...

Hey i've been following learncpp.com tuts for the last couple days, they say to comment out "#include "stdafx.h" from .cpp files for Code::Blocks. Is that a must, to remove the include line? What ...

I have a header file called stdafx.h and this one is precompiled of course. I've read that I should include these files into my .cpp files, but some of these statements are already needed in the he...

What is the purpose of the file stdafx.h and what is meant by precompiled headers?

I am trying to include 2 platform-specific stdafx.h files in my .cpp file, but the compiler is unhappy when I try to #ifdef it. #ifdef _WIN32 #include "stdafx.h" #elif _MAC #include "MAC/stdafx.h...

As usual, when my brain's messing with something I can't figure out myself, I come to you guys for help :) This time I've been wondering why stdafx.h works the way it does? To my understanding it ...
