That's my guess. Usually, C++ users compile one source file at a
time, whereas Java users find it convenient to compile a whole
archive.
ok, thanks. This sounds like you're really in an IMA mode :) If I
understand java archives correctly, they're really a set of concatenated
TUs, so could be compiled individually and then having a final link.
That would more naturally match other language's uses of the toolchain.
you'd like the backend to handle the breaking appart bit (by preserving
no-unit-at-a-time). I think that's merely pushing the complexity out
of the java FE and into the backend.
