Hi,
I was wondering: is there any way to compile all targets that
depend on
a given target ? (i.e. the "dependent targets", if my English does
not
fail).
In my particular case, I have a huge project that contains many
libs and
executables, and I would like to check that the targets that
depend on
the library I'm working on do not break with my modifications, but I
wouldn't like to compile the whole project every time since not all
targets depends on my lib.
Correct me if I'm wrong but if you build the whole project once, then
modify the lib,
the next "whole build" should only rebuild the necessary part ? i.e.
it'll rebuild
the lib and all targets that depends on it.
Indeed, if I "whole build' once and modify the lib I would only rebuild
the necessary part, except that I do not work alone on this project, and
sometimes some rebase is needed to incorporate changes from other people
on code not related to the lib I'm working on, and this would trigger
more build than my changes would.
Also it may happen that a new dependent to the lib I'm working on may be
added to the code base by one of these rebases. In this case the only
way for me to check if my changes broke anything would be to do a whole
build again, but this would also build many things not related to my
work... I hope I'm being clear here. :-)
Do you you want to avoid building the whole project in the first place
or does the
second whole build trigger more than necessary target build?
I would like to avoid rebuilding targets due to changes introduced by my
workmates that are not related to the part of the code base I'm working on.
Best,
Ellon
