SYMPTOMS

If there are changes to a header included in a .C file that cause a build to fail and the workspace is closed and re-opened, then the dependency information is lost and the build system will report the build is up-to-date.

  • Select Rebuild All from the Build menu.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was corrected in Microsoft Visual C++, version 6.0.

MORE INFORMATION
