- Sub: Re… Compilation Speed up
-
- Norberto,
-
- This is not a fair test because it does not represent the typical use of the
- compiler. I would be interested in seeing times for more typical use. Say I
- change a file in one unit or maybe two and recompile. Most of the time I will
- not even change an interface file, just the implementation so no dependencies
- in the make file get triggered.
-
- Further, it is not acceptable - for me anyhow - to have the source files I am
- modifying reside only on the RAM disk. Time must be added for copying the
- files I have changed to the hard disk before beginning the compile. It is
- assumed that this process can be automated with scripts or as part of the make
- or build, though I have not figured out how to do it yet.
-
- Further, the time to launch my application for testing must also be included.
- After all, this is part of the turnaround cycle I am interseted in improving
- and some environments have features to shorten this time as well.
-
- Thanks,
-
