kotlinlang

I stumbled across <https://blog.jetbrains.com/kotlin/2022/07/a-new-approach-to-incremental-compilation-in-kotlin/|this article> about kotlin.incremental.useClasspathSnapshot, which says:
&gt; it is compatible with the Gradle Build cache.
Now for the stupid question - what does this mean? Is Kotlin incompatible with the build cache if one doesn’t use this flag? And what does being incompatible mean?

there are a bunch of issues related to old incremental compilation and build cache. New IC solves them as well

Thanks Yahor, so if one can’t use the new IC (for example on multiplatform) it is recommendable to disable the build cache? I’m trying to learn more about it exactly because I’m seeing some issues on multiplatform (stale code not recompiled).

better to report the issues :wink:

New IC for now only supports JVM

I’ll try :smile: I could not figure out how to reproduce yet, it just happens sometimes.
