Yes. Agreed. Header files really kill productivity in C++ projects as they grow beyond 1-500.000 lines. I admit, sometimes I work around or postpone a fix in a vital header file, because I know it will initiate a recompile and undesired wait. I simply don't understand this isn't properly fixed after 30 or so years. It is so inefficient for developer time, cpu resources, and overall energy usage that it becomes ridiculous sometimes. I remember moving from Turbo Pascal in the mid 90s over to C and C++ and wondering what the hell was going on...
