  • Incremental compilation of C++ programs
    Patent number: 6182281
    Abstract: An enhanced compiler for compiling C++ programs without the use of forward declarations normally included in program header files. Through multiple parsing passes, the compiler extracts definitions for the declarations directly from the bodies of the C++ files. By saving the definitions to a persistent program representation, for example a program database, on subsequent sweeps, only definitions for new or changed declarations need be updated. In this way, C++ programs can be incrementally compiled on a declaration by declaration basis.
