[cfe-dev] Precompiled headers with libclang

[Abhanshu Sharma]

I have actually set it 'on' already. But by running strace, I found that
libclang is still accessing quite a few headers (Although Number of headers
accessed reduced a bit).
Is this expected?

Or libclang is just expected to access preamble file? Is there any case
where it can discard contents of preamble file.
