Does anybody have any information/suggestions/references on the subject of
incremental compiler-compilers? By this term I mean either of two kinds
of programs, namely:
- Tools for building incremental compilers, and
- Compiler writing tools which operate in an incremental fashion.
Also, is there any canonical reference on the subject of incremental
compilation, and what is the current state of the art? Any information,
whether based on first-hand knowledge, hearsay, or ouija board would be
greatly appreciated.

[I have seen some papers on things like tricking yacc into restarting a parse,
but little formal stuff on issues like symbol tables for incremental compilers.
