Hi,
Does anyone know if the new C++ compiler in BDS2006 is multi threaded? I was
hoping Borland would tackle this as our build time is 15-20 mins and we all
have Dual Core Processors :(
Has Borland fixed the Incremental Linker issues on huge projects?
Is BDS2006 quicker at detecting changes for compilation?
Thanks
Simon

Hausladen's compiler fix patch and PCH tool. Also look at Jonathan's
multi-threaded compiler tool. You'll probably be able to halve your
compile time.

Also (in addition to Jonhattan and David words):
There is patch for the BCB6 linker published months ago. It solved the
problem when linking very large projects.

PS: The patch is available at borland site for registerd users.
 

Yes we have this patch but it still crashes on Incremental Linking. :(

Yes, If we turn off 'Don't Generate State Files' then the linker fails on a
frequent basis so we have to enable this checkbox. :<

Have you disabled map file generation? We must have map file generation
disabled in BCB5 otherwise the linker crasches.

Mangled Names on. That's a bug in the MAP part of the linker.
