The ASCII-art on page [1] pretty much sums it up with regard to the |
| 28 |
compile step: |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
There is a second compiler involved that parses the comments in the C |
| 31 |
source code and generates binary files with type information etc. which |
| 32 |
can then be used for language bindings. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
So, it will probably slow down compilation and use more disk space (but |
| 35 |
not very much, as stated on -dev). Also, as stated on -dev, ALWAYS |
| 36 |
enable this unless you want to recompile most of @world if you ever need |
| 37 |
a language binding. |
