Hey Kotlin team! K

I was wondering if there is a public API available for incremental compilation that could be integrated into a custom build tool. I noticed that CompileService and IncrementalCompilerRunner are currently intended for use with Gradle, but I was hoping to use them in a different context.

Do you have any plans to add support for such API in the future?

Thank you in advance for any help!

Hi! We have an experimental version of such an API in the Kotlin repo, it's called Build Tools API. You can see how it's used in Gradle: https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin/blob/09233fce78122abd0944810c6fe6093bdb90600f/[…]ins/kotlin/compilerRunner/btapi/BuildToolsApiCompilationWork.kt

Currently it supports Jvm target. It is a prototype of the API, but we plan to continue developing and stabilizing it.
