By the way. Has anyone found an actual use for buildstyles?
Yes.
Does the fact that changing build styles forces a complete
recompilation hits you as valuable at all? (this realy is a serious
question).
Yes. Project Builder didn't do this, which made it really easy to
mangle a binary if you forgot to clean and rebuild after changing
styles...
Damn. Then this behaviour is an antibug to workaround another broken
feature. The right way would be to have separate build directories for
object files of each build style. This would really be a time saver as
one would only need to recompile the files that really have changed by
going from one style to another one. The only viable solution is
currently to have many targets with direfing build styles.
In the developement phase I'm often switching from debug to release
build and vice versa. Particularly when i'm comming towards the end of
the developement. Most of the time I need to have a debug build to trace
some bugs, fix them, and then build a new release build to confirm the
fix and test for regressions. I really don't want to recompile the whole
application and all the dependencies each time I switch time. XCode/gcc
is already the slowest C++ compiler on the market, I'd rather not have
to wait for it more than I need to.
