SYMPTOMS
Dependendcies to files that are included using a relative reference
such as,
#include "\include\test.h"
will not be generated when a Scan All Dependencies is performed on a
project.
RESOLUTION
Adding the project root directory to one of the Include file paths (under
Options.Directories or Options.Project.Compiler.Preprocessor) AND changing
the #include statement to remove the leading backslash (such as in
"include\test.h") will resolve this problem. Additionally, specifying the
entire path to the include file will alleviate this problem.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the products listed above.
This problem was corrected in Visual C++ 2.0.
