build, clean, rebuild, compile, run/start

build, clean, rebuild, compile, run/start의 차이

• Build compiles all modified code files in the project or workspace/solution, and then links the object files into an executable. If no code files have been modified since the last build, this option does nothing.
  즉, build = compile + link
• Clean removes all cached objects and executables so the next time the project is built, all files will be recompiled and a new executable produced.
• Rebuild does a “clean”, followed by a “build”.
• Compile recompiles a single code file (regardless of whether it has been cached previously). This option does not invoke the linker or produce an executable.
• Run/start executes the executable from a prior build. Some IDEs (e.g. Visual Studio) will invoke a “build” before doing a “run” to ensure you are running the latest version of your code. Otherwise (e.g. Code::Blocks) will just execute the prior executable.
