Can visual studio report which file its compiling now?

Sometimes I have errors which are caused by a particular cascading sequence of #include's... it would be much easier to debug if v开发者_StackOverflow中文版isual studio could give a kind of running commentary on which file it was currently processing. Can it be persuaded to do so?

It already outputs the source code file name in the Output window. If you also want to see which #include file it is processing then use Project + Properties, C/C++, Advanced, Show Includes = Yes.

You can do this manually. Insert:

#pragma message(" put name of file here ")

at the top of every header file.

Not as good as nobugz suggestion, but good to remember as a quick and dirty way of seeing if one or two headers files are being included at all.
