Hello,
We've recently migrated a very large (40+ projects, 1+ million LOC) VC6
workspace to VC7.1. In general, the compiler and linker are slower. The
worst seems to be the release link; under VC6 it would take 15 minutes to
link the main exe, under VC7.1 it typically takes an hour. Anyone have any
tips on how to diagnose the bottleneck and find workarounds?
This is just one of several severe problems we've encountered in the
migration. I'll post other issues separately. We left VC6 due to size
limitation on the pdb files (64MB) - I wish we would have invested our time
finding ways to further modularize our main exe instead of upgrading to
VC7.1. When we release a new version of our products, our customers expect
them to be more robust and faster - what a concept. Is VC7.1 designed for
large application development or just simple .NET apps? Sorry, just venting
a bit...
Thanks,
Paul
