I can do a clean release + assertions build of LLVM, Clang, compiler-rt and lld in about 5 minutes, plus 40 seconds to run cmake, on what I think is similar hardware to what Zach is using. If I swap Ptr += ret and Size -= Ret in raw_fd_ostream::write_impl so that Support changes, I can do an incremental build in about 10 seconds, including the regeneration of various .inc files. How do we get from there to 10 minutes for an incremental build?</div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div></div></div><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_quote"><div>For the sake of comparison, I made the same change and it took 1:58.39.

Without tablegen touching any cpp file should (& with ninja, seems to) rebuild that object, the library, and the resulting binary & not much/anything else.<br><br>- Dave<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
