I hate it. I think I will remove this and look for another solution. With the library, this would require reading the whole library code to find #Include's to calculate file time .. *every* compile. Reading is faster than parsing but it is still a serious pain. Also the current ugly situation where include "file" requires checking both file.flx and file.fdoc becomes much more complicated if they can have #includes in them .. it isn't even clear how to make the choice (eg if you touch a shared #include the max times of the two files and their includes would be equal). -- john skaller skal...@users.sourceforge.net http://felix-lang.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Managing the Performance of Cloud-Based Applications Take advantage of what the Cloud has to offer - Avoid Common Pitfalls.
