If you only change the implementation of a module, not its interface, you don't need to recompile anything that imports it. (At least, this is true at -O0, which if you care about fast recompilation because you're deep in development, you're probably doing.)
This is only true if the interface can be tracked separately from the implementation. Which, despite the flaws, C's header files can be coaxed into doing. -- Aaron Denney -><-
