For most of my development work with Visual C++, I am using partial builds, e.g. press F7 and only changed C++ files and their dependencies get rebuilt, followed by an incremental link. Before passing a version onto testing, I take the precaution of doing a full rebuild, which takes about 45 minutes on my current project. I have seen m...
How can I know if an executable was incrementally linked or not ?
I'm trying to use Purify 6 to analyze a memory corruption in one of our executables built with VC++ 2003 (7.1). When I instrument the binary with the command: purify /Replace=yes /Run=no myprog.exe The instrumentation aborts telling me the executable was incrementally linked.
