Hi,
I was reading about enabling incremental compilation for Java in v3.4. While looking into this, I came across the option to fork the compilation into a separate process (it looks like both these features have there for a while). I’m trying to get a sense of when the combination of the two is useful:
- Enabling both incremental compilation and forking the compilation : Is enabling forking detrimental to the performance of incremental compilation?
- Does the forked process get reused?
If you could shed some light on this, it would be helpful.
I tried out enabling and disabling forking and didn’t really notice any differences.
