Visual Studio creates many large temporary files when building a C++ project.
If you are manually archiving your source code, then in order to save on disk space, you may want to manually delete the temporary files, without deleting the output files (the .DLL or .EXE files).
So, here is a list of temporary file extensions, separated by a space: (good for WinRAR and for Windows Explorer)
here is the same list, separated by semi-colons: (good for WinZip)
#ignore files for Visual Studio
#
#using glob syntax.
syntax: glob
*.pdb
*.pch
*.ncb
*.obj
*.bsc
*.ilk
*.il
*.tli
*.tlh
*.idb
*.sbr
*.suo
*.vshost.exe
*.csproj.user
*.csproj.FileListAbsolute.txt
