> Zapcc challenges the notion that the compiler should exit after compiling each file and start over with the next one. this idea has been floating for a long time : ftp://gcc.gnu.org/pub/gcc/summit/2003/GCC%20Compile%20Server.pdf and https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/IncrementalCompiler https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/IncrementalCompiler sadly, it seems that modules has put these approaches on hold, even though I am pretty sure that modules won't solve the problem.
