Support for "granularity builds" [idea] + +In some projects the shared libraries get so large that it takes very long to +link even for small changes (e.g., a single object file changed). What some do +is split the library into multiple ones for debug builds (they still build and +link a single one for release). As a result, when a single file gets changed +then only one, smaller library need to be relinked. This is called +"granularity builds" (as in fine and coarse). + +Note that this is not the same as utility libraries (multiple static libraries +that at the end get assembled into a single shared library). |
