How big is real large? GCC uses make, for instance, and it's the
biggest public project that I personally know about. I worked on a
250ksloc project, but that was in Java and just used eclipse native
stuff (not even ant). I worked on a 1m sloc project in ada... but for
that project, every build was a full complete 100% fresh build for
reasons outside of this thread.
At what magnitude does make break down, do you think? And how/where
does it become flawed?
In retrospect, even when dealing with GCC, I never do a partial
rebuild. Every patch for me no matter how simple involves a complete
fresh build (and because of the nature of what I do with GCC, that
also involves a complete fresh build of binutils and of our libc). So
I really don't have any good context from which to extrapolate your
meaning.
