Generated files and source control

Message 1 in thread

Should moc files and their associated headers be kept in source control or
regenerated each build? What's the correct practice here?

Thanks

Regenerate with each build.  No need to keep them in source control as they 
are designed to be created from your source files.

I'd say it depends on whether your developers have the tools required to 
build those files in all cases.

In the case of moc and uic, they definitely do. So you should not put the 
generated files in version control.

But in the case of parsers, lexers, etc., the tools are not necessarily 
available to everyone. I've also seen many parsers that are hand-edited 
after being generated.

Your choice, really.
