DMD does not check the dates, that is assumed to be the province of make.

Yes, i'm aware of power of make :), but there are one little problem with 
linking .obj files with templates.
For example, if I instantiate same template in two files, compile into a 
.obj, and try to link these .objs, I got an error "Previous Definition 
Different".

But when I pass sources of these modules, all compiles successfully. 
However, in that case D recompiles all... :(

Try the updated version of dig - it contains a compiler utility for DMD called 
digc.  digc will not recompile if it doesn't need to.

You can find it here:

Yes, digc does check the date. And it's open source, so you can even see 
how it works.

Actually, he probably ought to start with J Anderson's latest version of 
dig: http://badmama.com.au/~anderson/JA's_D_Page.html

(I haven't uploaded a new dig package recently. J is more reliable. :) )

Actually I don't think my dig is any different from yours, although that 
may change in the future <g>.  I added the date so you can be sure.  
Also I will accept any modifications (within reason) people wish to make 
on it.  So if dig is missing something you think it should have, add it 
and send the mods to me.
