  • Thread-topic: Compile file

I'm not sure why someone would think it was just running the parser on the file, it does a compilation of the file, and as a result it generates a .o (parser, optimizer, code gen).  Basically exactly what I'd expect if I'm given an option to "compile" the file.

 

But unless we have an option to select the architecture (like we can select the configuration), it would be quite useful to be able to have it build both.  When half of my project won’t compile, I want to work file by file, especially when it only fails on one architecture.  Having it take effect in the executable is hours or days of work away.


As to cross compilation doing no good under Debug I don’t agree.  I currently have it set to only the native architecture, but once I get into QA I’ll want the debug version running on all machines, and that means a universal binary.

Then I am confused. What do you expect to get out of the double compilation?

 

Under the Debug configuration, cross-compilation does you no good, as you'll only be able to ZeroLink and debug in your native architecture.

 

Under the Release configuration, cross-compilation does you no good in a check compilation -- it's the same parser, so why run it twice? If you want the results of the compilation to take effect in the executable, then you have to do a full build anyway to link the application, so you pick up the other architecture's compilation automatically.
