On the subject of DEC Ada ...
I seem to recall that it had a very smart recompilation algorithm that could
drastically reduce the set of files that had to be recompiled after a change
had been made. Instead of just using file timestamp and "with" clause
dependencies, it would actually look into the code and deduce that most of
the recompilations were unnecessary. Very fast - great for big projects.
Is this algorithm still patented ?. Are we ever likely to see it in Gnat /
gcc ?
