For single class c++ files, imo most of the time is spent into reading the huge headers which are often even not needed and a complete mess because nobody has an overview which classes are used and which not. > * every separate C/C++ file can be compiled in parallel with all others That's might be a point. _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
