/showIncludes (List Include Files)

Causes the compiler to output a list of the include files. Nested include files are also displayed (files that are included from the files that you include).

/showIncludes

Remarks

When an include file is encountered during compilation, a message is output, for example:

Note: including file: d:\MyDir\include\stdio.h

Nested include files are indicated by an indentation, one space for each level of nesting, for example:

Note: including file: d:\temp\1.h
Note: including file:  d:\temp\2.h

In this case, 2.h was included from within 1.h, hence the indentation.

The /showIncludes option emits to stderr, not stdout.
