  • Multicore compile mode

    From Enrico Maria Giordano@21:1/5 to All on Sun Dec 31 12:08:39 2023
    Both MSC and BCC CLANG have a very very fast C compile mode that uses
    multicore CPU (-MP with MSC and --jobs=0 -output-dir. with BCC CLANG).
    That is wonderful but it works if there is only one compiler run for
    more that one C modules. Unfortunately our build system seems to invoke
    the compiler for each C module. I wonder if it could be possible to
    change this and compile more C modules with one single compiler run.
    This way the whole build operation would be much much faster. What do
    you think?

    Honestly, how many times does "Joe Programmer" compile the entire source, and how many people have hundreds of thousands of lines of xBase / assembly code to compile "clean" every time. "Pearls before swine" comes to mind. Your effort will be for
    your edification, others will likely notice no significant difference.

    You have a point. I only asked how difficult it would be.
