利用VS开发C++项目,经常发现修改系统时间后,每次编译过程会变得很慢,其原因就是当你把系统时间调到未来的一个时间点,然后有意或者无意编辑过一些代码文件,那么这些文件的时间戳就停留在未来.

当你把系统时间调到现在后,编译器每次编译的时候,总会判定这些文件是最新的(因为它的时间戳总是大于目标文件的时间戳),所以总是会把这些文件编译一遍,如果这些文件中有某些被其他文件引用,那么会有更多的文件被重新编译,而且这种过程每次编译都会执行一遍,导致编译速度降低.为了解决这个问题,我特意写了一个小工具.

这个工具的原理跟简单,找出指定目录下时间戳大于当前时间的文件,并把它们的时间戳设置为现在时间.

调用的时候,配合一个bat脚本,把需要检查的代码目录传进去就好了,例如

echo off
