Yeah but using -of creates an executable in the directory I provide. RDMD is supossed to be used with hiding the executable in a temp dir, afaik.
So it's hashing at play, ok. Just wanted to know why. Personally I'd like RDMD to hide the map and deps files as well, I don't know why it only hides the executable and leaves the rest of the trash behind. (okay it's not trash, but for quick compile-test cycles I don't need the map and dependancy files).
