Stop using precompiled headers for Linux? (original) (raw)

I'd be in favour of disabling by default.

Is there any advantage of using precompiled headers on Linux? It's on by default and we keep having breakage where someone would forget to add #include. The latest instance is JDK-8213148.

I just turn on precompiled headers explicitly in all my builds. I don't see any difference in build time (at least not significant enough for me to bother). Should we disable it by default on Linux? Thanks - Ioi
