    Description

      Preamble:

      I am creating a "customcpp" module that depend on the standard "cpp" module and sets up a bunch of cpp.* properties. This is so I can avoid specifying the same redundant cpp properties for all my projects (custom cxx flags, defines, etc.).

      One thing common to my projects is that, when they use a precompiled header, it is always named "pch.h". Thus, I will want my "customcpp" module to automatically enable precompiled header whenever that file is present in a product including the module.

      Problem:

      While setting the cpp.precompiledHeader from within my customcpp module correctly adds the compiler flags to the product for including the precompiled header (e.g. "-include foobar" for gcc), it does not trigger the Transformer that actually compiles the precompiled header. Thus, there is no "precompiling pch.h" step and compilation fails with "cc1plus: fatal error: foobar: No such file or directory" as it fails to find the precompiled header it is told to include.

      The qbs log has a trace indicating that the Transformer's condition was not

      The transformer in question would be one at line 360 in GenericGCC.qbs.

      I have attached a small project that exhibit this issue.
