It is pretty cool. In general they will need the whole thing before they write the object file, but the initial stages of compilation (parsing, etc) do happen as it reads from stdin. Or so it seemed when I last looked, it might be different in later versions of gcc. So it allows you a little more pipelining, and gets the server cpu loaded sooner. -- Martin
