Issue #16772 has been updated by Eregon (Benoit Daloze).


@shyouhei maybe it was split in too many header files?
Agreed before ruby/ruby.h and intern.h were too big, but 186 headers vs 26 before seems the other extreme.

Bug #16772: Build becomes slow with CIFS mounted srcdir
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/16772#change-84981

* Author: ko1 (Koichi Sasada)
* Status: Open
* Priority: Normal
* Assignee: shyouhei (Shyouhei Urabe)
* Backport: 2.5: UNKNOWN, 2.6: UNKNOWN, 2.7: UNKNOWN
----------------------------------------
Recent 9e6e39c3512f7a962c44dc3729c98a0f8be90341 increases many include files and it makes slow build on my machine.

My build environment is not normal:

* srcdir is managed on Windows 10 host file system and edit it on windows native editors (xyzzy)
* Build on Linux (Ubuntu 18.04) by mounting srcdir with CIFS (samba)

Same machine, but srcdir on guest Linux (/dev/sda2 on / type ext4 (rw,relatime,data=ordered))

```

Same machine, but compile on host Windows (mswin64).

```
$ time nmake range.obj

```

Another Linux box works fine.

```
# Linux box on another machine without ccache

$ time make range.o

```

I recognize that using CIFS for build environment is not normal environment, so it is not a big issue.
But I filed it if there is a chance to solve it.

BTW, I tried to make simple .c files which includes 1000 simple files, but only a few seconds to build. So the file number is not a big issue.
