FAQ

What commands are available?

new, init, build, run, clean, --help, --version, --update.

Is dcr.toml mandatory?

Yes, for build, run, and clean.

What source files are compiled?

DCR scans src/ recursively:

• for C: *.c
• for C++: *.cpp, *.cxx, *.cc

Can I switch compiler?

Yes. Set build.compiler in dcr.toml (for example gcc, clang, cl, clang-cl).

How does incremental rebuild work?

It compares source file mtime with object file mtime. Header dependency tracking is not implemented yet.

What does dcr run do if build fails?

It tries to run an existing binary from the selected profile; if none exists, it reports an error.

How do I update DCR?

Use dcr --update for non-package-managed installs.

If installed through pacman/AUR, update via package manager.
