Our one project alone has over 250 units/forms with complex unit dependencies. This excludes 2 large external frameworks (also implemented in Object Pascal) that we pull in as well during compilation - we depend on them for certain functionality. I also tend to always build _all_ units, because I have been bitten enough times with source code changes which didn't trigger unit recompiles for some reason, and then waist my time debugging something that doesn't actually need debugging. So yes, anything to improve compiler speed is always welcomed by me. I miss the speed of Kylix or Delphi. And before somebody jumps on me, yes I know FPC has a different design because it supports multiple platforms and architectures - maintainability is more important to the core team that speed. -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://opensoft.homeip.net/fpgui/ _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
