> If your build hasn't changed very significantly... Change one character in one file that gets linked at the end of the build, the syntax check would go from 7 minutes to 3.5 on average - still too slow. You're also overlooking conditional compilation, your change might break the build on another platform - the syntax won't be checked until it hits the buildbot that flips the right flags. > Non-trivial projects in better-designed languages... Ah, the lets redo-everything-in-x school of thought - good luck with that.
