See bug 16210 for one instance where this caused problems for someone. It's possible we could fix this by adding all the generated files to the .vcproj. 63008 1 dev+webkit 2007-12-02 10:43:51 -0800 Is there any reason that build-webkit doesn't see --clean and just blow away the entire WebKitBuild directory? 63043 2 mrowe 2007-12-02 18:14:45 -0800 Matt, it's sometimes desirable to clean only the debug or release configuration, leaving the other intact. 128688 3 lambda 2009-06-27 18:32:57 -0700 It appears that build-webkit --clean also doesn't delete generated files on the Mac. I spent a while trying to hunt a problem down with build-webkit --filters, until I realized that the build-webkit --clean that I had run hadn't deleted WebKitBuild/Release/DerivedSources/WebCore/SVGNames.{cpp,h}. 1898001 4 ahmad.saleem792 2022-09-12 14:05:44 -0700 Is this needed anymore? Thanks! 1898025 5 ap 2022-09-12 15:00:34 -0700 For both Xcode and Visual Studio, build-webkit implements cleaning by passing an option to xcodebuild or MSBuild. I don't know if any generated files are missed when cleaning now. Wouldn't be surprised if this was still broken.
