It requires support from various stages in the pipeline and gui, but it's been available for a decade from MS. Surely someone else has bothered to copy it? (assuming it was invented by MS?)
Apple had Fix-and-continue when Xcode 1.0 replaced Project Builder ten years ago. It was abandoned in Xcode 4. I'm not sure how reliable it was, but I remember having played with it when it was new but not bothering much later.
I guess the feature not being completely reliable, moving the toolchain from gcc to clang, and code signatures being required when running iOS apps all contributed to make the feature go away. Perhaps they'll revive that feature now that their toolchain is more stable. File enhancement requests on Apple's bug tracker if you want to put some pressure on them to resurrect the feature.
