Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : fastdep Version : 0.15 Upstream Author : Bart Vanhauwaert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://www.irule.be/bvh/c++/fastdep/ * License : (GPL) Description : fast dependency generator for C/C++ files
The suggestion in the GNU make info file uses gcc -MM on each (possibly) changed file even before compilation starts. Unfortunatly gcc is really slow. Generating dependencies with fastdep is (at least should be) an order of magnitude faster than using gcc. Written in C++ with a handoptimized parser for just the preproccesor tokens, it's no surprise fastdep is fast. Besides that it processes multiple source files at once. When doing so fastdep parses every header file exactly one time and keeps an in memory structure of it. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux zen8100a 2.4.20ctx-16z.3 #1 Mon Jun 2 22:13:30 EST 2003 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C
