Using precompiled header under msvc, you need to link the precompiled header's object as well. If you don't link in (mostly stdafx.obj), then the only forward declared classes in the precompiled header won't be able to see in the debugger. Now you need to do this (as a workaround):

Program(target="test", source=["test.cpp", "stdafx.obj"])

or

Library(target="test", source=["test.cpp", "stdafx.obj"])

Bug party triage. There's no programmatic solution to this problem, so explain in the documentation what to do. Brandon to sync up with Steven and write the necessary prose.
