> would you favor persisting exact Java output ownership across embedded and forked compilation, with an explicit policy for builds whose prior ownership is unknown? Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems to me that this is a request for better incremental compilation, isn't it? The current incremental compilation algorithms are known to have holes. This is not a regression compared to 3.x, which had the same holes. The above AI analysis give the impression that incremental compilation was the whole point of this pull request, while I think that the point was to allow a Java project to build when some classes have been compiled by Kotlin. I suggest to stick to that goal, in which case this pull request seems about complete to me, and defer better incremental compilation to later. We would need to do that for Java first, and then in a second step see how it could be applied to Kotlin too. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
