An Ada compiler could do likewise, but none do. Perhaps I misunderstand the question, but I thought that is what DEC Ada (83) does (pay attention only to the files the OS says have been changed). Or is DEC Ada excluded because the checking is done by the ACS program that drives the compiler rather than by the compiler itself ?
