Re: [ros-dev] Notice Of Intent - Visual Studio Build of ReactOS

[J. C. Jones]

I would caution everyone to not forget the whole purpose of using Visual
Studio is to make development by Visual Studio users easier, not harder.
Generating .sln files that can be loaded in this way, even if the generation
operation takes less than 1 second, would still result in 800 .sln files.
This would be somewhat bizzare, since Visual Studio can have only one .sln
file open at once. There are inter-project dependencies that would be lost,
to name one of numerous problems that would arise.

 

Our effort should focus on getting the integration done the way it should
be. Doing that might make the performance problems moot. If it turns out
that the problems still exists, it will be easy to scale back.  Right now,
as it stands, the cake is not yet fully baked.

I suggest a sln file in each directory. Only a sln file is too big, very
slow to load.

I agree, but before changing this, we should measure a possible performance
impact on the configure operation. (We are talking about generating a few
hundred solution files)
I don't know if it has any impact at all (especially for non-VS build), but
you never know...
