The linker is emphatically not fast enough for large C++ apps. I know Xcode prioritizes Obj-C, but a lot of 3rd party apps (and even Safari) are largely C++, and link performance can be painful. As a data point, linking Chrome on my MacBookPro takes about 90 seconds. Reminds me of working with MacApp back in 1991 :-p
I know a lot of this is C++’s fault for generating oceanfuls of internal symbols, especially when you use templates, but we’re stuck with it. Any advice on ways to improve this by restructuring a project (compiler options, intermediate link steps, etc.) would be appreciated.
