reduce compilation times?

[John Love-Jensen]

Hi mahmoodn,

> Is it possible to reduce compilation time with GCC?

Yes.

Besides the approaches that Andrew pointed out, there is also having good
source code hygiene, with low coupling and high cohesion, and having the
#include statements only include that which is needed in the translation
unit, and relying on header-header files.

Details of which -- and a lot more good stuff -- is in this book:
