While waiting for my compilation to finish for the 30th time, I concocted
the following dream compiler:


one that during my editing, reads the program text I typed in so far, and
tries to compile and link it as much as it can in the background, with low
priority so nobody gets bad response.


So when I finally type "cc", most of the work will already be done, and it
will complete much faster.


Has this technique a name? Has it already been implemented in some
programming environment?


Any reaction is appreciated. Thanks in advance!
