Agile developers know that a quick build is a necessity to maintain short development cycles.  Two basic strategies for short builds exist: build acceleration, where the same amount of work is run on more resources, getting it done faster; and build avoidance, where less actual work is done but the same end results are achieved.  Some examples of build avoidance are complex and exotic, such as the object reuse techniques of ccache and clearmake winkin; others are simple and well-known, like building incrementally.  None of these techniques gets build avoidance entirely right because each lacks knowledge about what you need.  In this webinar we’ll cover a new approach to build avoidance, called subbuilds, which has better performance across the broadest class of scenarios.  We’ll introduce the concept, describe how it works in practice, and provide you with an implementation that you can start using right now.
