How Does Clearmake Work?
Clearmake reads any existing relevant C.R.s.
For each target to be rebuilt, Clearmake spawns a process to run its particular build-script.
The view-server monitors (“audits”) all MVFS (Multi-Version File System) file access by each process.
All file accesses and the build-script are stored in a config-record.
- Each build script has one config record, may produce multiple derived objects.
