Not that this even matters. I've just tested a 28,000 line build and link on
my mobile pentium laptop and it comes in at about 15 seconds. For typical
ongoing edit with a trivial makefile in this style
.SUFFIXES: .icn .u
.icn.u:
unicon -u -fs -c $*
OBJECTS=obj1.u obj2.u obj3.u
all: final.icx
final.icx: Makefile $(OBJECTS)
icont -u -f s -o final.icx $(OBJECTS)
clean:
rm -f final.icx tags *.u *.dir *.pag
the typical turnaround is quicker than I could fire up a new browser and
link to a page.
As Steven says, to cut through the various definitions of interpreted vs.
compiled, Unicon's compile cycle is a non-issue; it cannot be compared to a
C++ build.
