One of LLVM's Clang compiler benefits that has long been trumpeted has been about its speedy compiler times in comparison to GCC. The latest results of using Clang with Qt Creator further reinforce the insanely fast compile times...

No one has learnt anything about free software in the past few years?

I think you totally missed the point here Michael. This is about so-called unity builds vs normal builds and not about clang vs gcc.

Thank you, talk about a different topic. I was wondering what black magic voodoo he was performing to decrease the times tenfold! But what is the unity build system?

So...what are the times with GCC and Meson unity builds?

Error: too many overloads for 'unity'
Error: no definition found for 'unity'

Seriously, what's with having to pick new marketing names for old things, and ungooglable names at that?

For google: Unity builds = amalgamation = cat *.c > bigfile.c

New marketing names? This technique has been used in game development for years, and has, AFAIK, always been called 'unity builds'.

And I must say, I agree with everyone who says that this article should have had a different name ...

This is the first I hear of that name used like that. Which incidentally is also a distro, a DE, and a cash-grab game engine, among many other things, making it ungooglable.

I know the tech as amalgamation, first publicized by sqlite in 2007.
