Incremental Builds:
When you make a change to either the gdc or gcc sources,
running make
inside objdir will keep on doing incremental builds for you.
Some
exceptions to the rule:
* Adding/Removing files from libphobos or libdruntime require
you to
re-run the setup-gcc.sh script
./setup-gcc.sh --update ../gcc-devel
* I have noted in certain circumstances (updating the frontend
mostly), changes to dfrontend/idgen.c or dfrontend/impcnvgen.c
sometimes do not trigger rebuilds of other sources. When this
occurs,
crashes or errors will look rather confusing. That's because
the
symbol table between two object files differ. Clean out all
objects
from the gdc build directory and re-make it.
I see the instructions below for cleaning GDC and
libphobos/libdruntime, but to clean GCC also, can we just do
`make clean`?
Clean Builds:
Cleaning out gdc / cc1d only (from the objdir):
rm gcc/gdc gcc/d/*
Cleaning out libphobos/libdruntime:
make clean-target-libphobos
