-	When any one of the following files that are added to the project is updated: (C source file, assembler source file, header file, link directive file, symbol information file, object module file, and library file)

-	When a build target file has been added to or removed from the project

-	When the link order of object module files and library files is changed

-	When the property of the build tool or the build target file is changed

-	For the debug-only project

-	When you have edited and saved the C source file, assembler source file and header file that are added to the debug-dedicated project

-	When a C source file, assembler source file, or header file has been added to or removed from the debug-dedicated project

-	When the property of the debug-dedicated project is changed

If a rapid build is enabled, it is possible to perform a build in parallel with the above operations.

To enable/disable a rapid build, select [Rapid Build] from the [Build] menu. A rapid build is enabled by default.

Caution

When an external text editor is used, check the [Observe registered files changing] check box on the [General - Build] category in the Option dialog box to enable this function.

Remark 1.

After editing source files, it is recommend to save frequently by pressing the [Ctrl] + [S] key.

Remark 2.

Enable/Disable setting of the rapid build applies to the entire project (main project and subprojects).

Remark 3.

If you disable a rapid build while it is running, it will be stopped at that time.
