Icl recompiles project whenever a single file is changed.

[gilrgrgmail_com]

Iam compiling aproject with hundredc++ files.Whenever I change a c++/h file the whole project the intel compiler recompiles the whole project.
I use:
Intel C++ Composer XE 2011 Integration for Microsoft Visual Studio* 2010, Version 12.0.1029.2010.

I toggled to m$ compiler and it compiles only the relevant files.

Unfortunately my trial period is expired and since I'm not sure about the purchase yet I cannot try this workaround. I am curious to hear from the other users, though.

On Win7SP1:uninstalled KB2567680, rebooted, rebuild issue still there. Thenuninstalled KB2507938, rebooted, rebuild issue still persists. So, unfortunately, this work-around doesn't work for me...

[gilgil]

I've uninstalled both updated - rebooted twice and the problem remains.

[VADIM_G_Intel]

gilgil,Michael V,

Have you checked whether the updates still present in the list of the installed updates? Windows may automatically install an update after the second reboot. That was my case. Try to uninstall both updates and reboot once.

[gilgil]

The 1st thing i did was cancelling auto-update.
As so, I verified the 2 updates are not installed anymore after reboot.
As I wrote - the problem remaines..

[Feilong_H_Intel]

Our developer is suspecting that there is another update in Windows breaks the compiler. Could you please follow the instructions below to get a list of updates you have in your Windows?

1. Download the VB script (filename: GetUpdates.vbs) attached in this blog http://msinfluentials.com/blogs/jesper/archive/2007/12/28/listing-all-installed-updates.aspx.

2. Run the script in your command line window (cmd.exe).

3. Verify that a list of updates has been written to InstalledUpdates.htm.

4. Attach InstalledUpdates.htm here.

Thanks,
Feilong

[gilgil]

I attached the htm file.

[VADIM_G_Intel]

Update KB2533623 also has this bug. So, please remove it as well.

[gilgil]

Still not working..
Luckily I have very long waiting times between compilations to keep checking the forum ;)

[gilgil]

Removing KB2510531 does the work.
Finally I can change single file and the project does not recompile.
I am new trying to figure out the side effects of removing that update.

[VADIM_G_Intel]

Thanks for the information, Gilgil!

We'll take a look at this update. Although, it's strange that this patch affects build. According to the MS bulletin, this update deals with Jscript and Vbscript scripting engine only.

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/bulletin/ms11-031

[Michael_V]

I can confirm that removing all of the suggested updates (2567680, 2507938, 2533623 and 2510531) has also worked for me. Attached is output of the suggested VB script before/after removing these updates. I definitely had to remove 251031 as well, removal of the only other three did not fix things.

Now we'll see how long I can keep the work-around going before IT forces an update/reboot on my machine...

[gilgil]

I also wonder how the jscript has anything to d owith the recompilation problem.

[Feilong_H_Intel]

Finally we have the list of updates - (2567680, 2507938, 2533623 and 2510531) - which need to be removed to workaround the issue. Two customers reported this works for them. We didn't check the last one (2510531) since it requires old version of the IE installed. Moreover, this update was excluded from the MS auto update.

Thanks,
Feilong

Hi all,

Engineering team has implemented a fix for this issue. I'll let you know when a compiler update that contains the fix is available for download.

Thanks,

[gilgil]

I am not sure th problem you are relating to is the one in this thread. The problem we had was full rebuild (and slow one..) no matter which file changed..

using Win8 x64, MSVC 2012, ICC 13.0.1 (package 2013.1.119) integrated into MSVC IDE. Yes, the issue has been fixed. Partially. But the bug is still present when you use /MP (enable multi-processor build) switch, which boosts performance (I have thousands of .c and .cpp units as well), especially when one has contemporary multi-core CPU, which is not uncommon these days. The "/Gm" switch ("enable minimal rebuild") is ignored. I am sorry, but conclusion is the bug was not fixed.

even more, w/o /MP switch, the link phase is still performed, when I did not touched any code! I hit F5 (run) and it is asking me for the rebuild (saying the code is out of date, which is not the case), I click "Yes", I get: ---snip--- Build started 2012-11-26 13:05:24. InitializeBuildStatus: Creating "x64\Debug\XXX.unsuccessfulbuild" because "AlwaysCreate" was specified. Midl: All outputs are up-to-date. MessageBuildingWithCompiler: Building with Intel(R) C++ Compiler XE 13.0 ClCompile: ***** ClCompile (x64 - Intel C++) All outputs are up-to-date. All outputs are up-to-date.

But consider costly /Qipo / IL linking that takes circa 11 hours (due to swapping, since I have only 8 GiB of physical RAM, and IL compiler at link phase is eating about 7 GiBs)! When none of the files has been touched...

Hi kurienmathew, I don't have VS2008 in my machine. I failed to reproduce this issue with XercesLib and VS2010. It might be a known issue of VS2008. See this Microsoft KB article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/948127/en-us Thanks, Feilong
