I don't care whether it uses PCH or not. It should do the fastest thing
by default. So, my metric is "time it takes to build <project>" on my
machine. My favorite project is qtdeclarative, but I also build other
things.
c, What are the trade offs? e.g. the std headers are probably used for
something. Getting rid of them might involve avoiding the usage of std
types in more places.
d, We used to build at least Qt itself with PCH by default. Why did we
change the default?
best regards,
Ulf
