#meshgen

I read about this, and apparently it gives the linker uncompiled(ish) code in the .obj files, and the linker then invoked the compiler back end so that the back end has full access to the information of how functions are calling each other etc.. This lets the compiler be more aggressive with optimizations, so I hope I get a speed boost out of it.

I turned it on for #GSL, #Meshgen and all the #Bondalyzer add-ons, and they built successfully. I’ve yet to test them all to make sure they still work, but I have a good feeling.

The files that finally worked, and that I assume will help with future versions of GSL and VS were taken from the following URL.

And the blog that finally let me see the light (told me about the readme) was http://qubitcal.blogspot.com/2013/08/gsl-on-windows.html

Now I can finally get #Meshgen running in windows so that #GradientBundleAnalysis can get underway!
