Doesn't kernel use incremental builds? All well-designed C projects that I know of compile .c files into .o files and link them, so a single file modification only requires a single recompilation/relinking.
- chlorion 3y agoIt does use incremental builds so long as you don't reset everything. I'm not sure that a lot of people who don't work with make realize that it's smart enough to only rebuild what has changed, and that it's not just a command runner!
