Abstract

Separate compilation has its justification in practical ressons : in large projects it would not be reasonable to recompile the complete system for each modification. Nor would it be reasonable to have every member of a programming project have access to all other program parts.

The facilities provided in the LIS language for separate definition and compilation show that it can be achieved at a reasonable cost. Moreover the availability of the separate compilation system permits type checking to be achieved across separately compiled modules.
