Implicit Build

 

Type          Switch

Syntax      {$IMPLICITBUILD ON} or {$IMPLICITBUILD OFF}

Default     {$IMPLICITBUILD ON}

Scope       Global

 

Remarks

The {$IMPLICITBUILD OFF} directive, intended only for packages, prevents the source file in which it occurs from being implicitly recompiled later. Use {$IMPLICITBUILD OFF} in .dpk files when compiling packages that provide low-level functionality, that change infrequently between builds, or whose source code will not be distributed. Use of

{$IMPLICITBUILD OFF} in unit source files is not recommended. See also Disable implicit compilation (-Z) option.
