That can cause make problems, but those are usually rare.
before posting a patch, I always rebase against the most recent master. > Doing a make check is quite time consuming for some users and slow, so as > long as you don't mind the potential wait for your patch to be tested (by me > - others also run patchy but may not do the full make doc) think of it like > just 'good manners' to do at _least_ a make ;) of course I check make! In particular, what could arise is that I change foo(string s) to foo(const string &s) in derived class and not in base class. This would cause bad behaviour. I am very careful for this but of course, it is better to have tests. Also I check for compiler warnings but lilypond builds with a lot of compiler warnings which does not help. I think we should try to remove all warnings.
