Improving C++ Compilation Times - Tools & Techniques

Explore practical tools and techniques to improve C++ compilation times in this comprehensive conference talk from ACCU 2023. Learn how to accurately benchmark compilation time and detect bottlenecks in codebases of any size. Discover methods for enabling precompiled headers in CMake, leveraging the "reuse from" feature, and automatically transforming builds into "unity builds". Gain insights on when to selectively replace heavyweight standard library headers and general techniques to reduce physical dependencies between components. Benefit from the expertise of Vittorio Romeo, an experienced C++ developer and active member of the C++ community, as he shares valuable knowledge on optimizing compilation processes for immediate implementation in your projects.
