Re: [Boost-users] Building boost faster: /MP

Yes, it is limited in that it does not support a couple of other flags simultaneously. However, if you think about it, /MP is a replacement of /Gm (Incremental Build) and /Yc (Precompiled Headers).

IMHO, it's much more disappointing that /MP has almost no effect with /LTCG (and /GL). With these switches no much work is done in "compile" time - actual compilation occurs in the link-time, in one single process.
