April 22, 2019 Speed up compilation | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
Is there any way to speed of compiling a project(in Visual D) that changes very little but has a lot of dependencies that do not change? Seems like D is recompiling everything, and while it does it relatively fast, it's about 15+ seconds even if I just change a single character in the entire project such as a initial value(anything). Is compiling to object files going to help(Visual D does not do this as far as I know)? Ideally everything that doesn't change would not be recompiled. |

This seems rather strange. Do you maybe set the dub flag --force or -f which will cause a full rebuild? Or do you have a rather old dub version?
I just guessing as I do not have experience with Visual D. I know for direct dub usage or usage of Intellij, the dependencies are built once, unless there is a need for rebuild.
Kind regards

Visual D doesn't use dub. There is a multiple objects file option but for some reason it causes the project to fail with unresolved externals from TypeInfo.* so I have no idea if it actually does anything or not.
