BDS2007 IDE Compile only?

[Larry Griffiths]

Sometimes I would just like to compile a bunch of Projects in a Project
Group without having
to go through the link steps. ( Error Checking ).

Is this possible in the IDE?

You could rename the ilink32.exe before you compile your project :-)

[Larry Griffiths]

I wonder if that would mess up the dependency info.

Iam thinking the compiler would say all the units are up to date on
following makes and not regenerate the .obj, .bpi. lib files.

No. When compiling an entire project, the IDE always performs a link.
Otherwise, you have to compile the individual units one at a time instead,
which I'm sure you are trying to avoid.

What I would prefer is a compile-only option like the make and Build in the
project manager.

The compile only would not call the linker and would not update
dependencies.

Submit a feature request to QC.

Is that feature request in QC? I'd like to see it as well. 8-)

I will enter a QC request this coming Monday.

It should would speed things up when I have to rip out code. BDS2007 really
zips through the units when compiling now and we have it fairly stable now.
I have some debugger lock ups now and then and some occasional linker
problems related to missing externals that go away when I clean and build
the particular project having the missing externals. If these problems were
not present in BDS2007 then it would blow away any of the previous versions
of the Builder C++ product by comparison.
