Splitting C files is different to splitting C++ files or splitting Java files, Fortran, Ada, ObjC, .... As GCC is made in C-only then we only need to split C files to reduce the recompilation time if we want. For other projects made in C++, Java, Fortran, Ada, ObjC, ...., they are hard to split their files. It would be a good idea to have a future implementation of GCC that says: "you don't need to split your source files because GCC recognizes automaticly parts of the unmodified & modified files". But this future implementation for the programmer that haven't to split source files is hard too!. J.C.Pizarro
