Portal On the Booklist At Wabash College 203

jamie passes along this quote from a post by Michael Abbott at The Brainy Gamer: "This year, for the first time, a video game will appear on the syllabus of a course required for all students at Wabash College, where I teach. For me — and for a traditional liberal arts college founded in 1832 — this is a big deal. Alongside Gilgamesh, Aristotle's Politics, John Donne's poetry, Shakespeare's Hamlet, and the Tao Te Ching, freshmen at Wabash will also encounter a video game called Portal. "

Comment Precompiled headers is not just post-preprocessed (Score 1) 130

While I have used M$VC++ (yech) of various generations (only because my boss made me, I swear! :), I haven't played much with it's precompiled header stuff. But back in the days of good old Borland C++, I did notice that #defines and such before the #includes did not force a rebuild of the precompiled headers, unless the conditions, definitions, etc changed since the last build. It appeared that it was keeping track of the list of includes, and also all current state of things leading into the includes. Anyway, perhaps it wouldn't be necessary to propogate changes like to mentioned, but just recognize that the "pre-#include symbol dump" doesn't match. I don't know if that made much sense...
