I think the update should be relatively less frequent with this approach, as people don't usually update multiple files at the same time.  Not sure if I want all files that depend on `A.h` to be updated when I edit `A.h` though; it seems much more complicated and less important (to me).


I can see this is a problem when you forget to save. On the other hand, one case I encounter frequently enough is:
edit A.h, save
go to B.cc (that includes it), see errors that it causes (here and in other files)
go to A.h, fix error, save
go to B.cc (or a different file that includes A.h) and wanting to see the error gone
