Interview: GCC as an incremental compile server (Spindazzle.org)
Anthony Green
interviews Tom Tromey.
"Tom Tromey is making some interesting changes to GCC. I interviewed him via email to learn more...
green: You recently started a project to turn GCC into an "incremental compiler". What will be "incremental" about it?
tromey: When recompiling, GCC won't redo all the work of compiling a file. Instead, it will only recompile the parts that have changed.
For this to work well, we'll also eventually need an incremental linker. Luckily there are some new linkers on the horizon which should help.
Down the road I'd like to look at exploiting the server code (the incremental compiler runs as a server) to provide "IDE assist" -- indexing and the like."
