Incremental compiler
open-in-new
<p>An incremental compiler is a kind of <a href="/facts/Incremental_computation/4cCcb2dp">incremental computation</a> applied to the field of <a href="/facts/Compiler/WNfCDFJe">compilation</a>. Quite naturally, whereas ordinary compilers make a so-called clean build, that is, (re)build all program modules, an incremental compiler recompiles only modified portions of a program. </p>
