Compiler Warning (level 1) C4727
"PCH named pch_file with same timestamp found in obj_file_1 and obj_file_2. Using first PCH.
Note
In Visual Studio 2017 and earlier, the precompiled header is called stdafx.h by default, and in Visual Studio 2019 and later, it is called pch.h by default.
C4727 occurs when compiling multiple compilands with /Yc, and where the compiler was able to mark all .obj files with the same .pch timestamp.
To resolve, compile one source file with /Yc /c (creates pch), and the others compile separately with /Yu /c (uses pch), then link them together.
So, if you did the following and it generates C4727:
cl /clr /GL a.cpp b.cpp c.cpp /Ycstdafx.h
You would do the following instead:
cl /clr /GL a.cpp /Ycstdafx.h /c
cl /clr /GL b.cpp c.cpp /Yustdafx.h /link a.obj
cl /clr /GL a.cpp b.cpp c.cpp /Ycpch.h
You would do the following instead:
cl /clr /GL a.cpp /Ycpch.h /c
cl /clr /GL b.cpp c.cpp /Yupch.h /link a.obj
