Description

The compilation time have increased with the addition of new templated algorithms. This can reduce developer velocity. Some ideas surfaced:

  • Split VRP/MIP modules
  • Split translation units into more files
  • Build only relevant tests
  • Profile compilation with tool and address individual files if they are costly

Research direction

Start by profiling compilation as suggested in the issue, then compare the VRP/MIP modules, translation units, and test targets to identify the main contributors. The work is done when the costly compilation areas are addressed and compile time is measurably reduced, but no target or specific files are defined yet.
