You are right, of course. What I mean is — is the compiler waiting for
that process to finiish ? It would have to wait before starting the
linking phase, but not before starting compiling other units.
It would make the logic quite complex. Not all platforms can handle
this, sometimes the internal assembler is used, you have to make sure
not to launch 200 assembler processes at once etc.
The current approach has the advantage of simplicity.
Traditionally, make is used to parallelize (and fpmake supports it).
Yes, I have been thinking in that direction, create a rule where .o depends on and is created from
.s. But then, you need a hardcoded list of units in the Makeffile ?
