With

set tot
, we first compile with object code, then switch to bytecode, touch the file and issue a:reload
. However, if the.o
file generated in the first compilation is still considered fresh -- because it has the same timestamp as the just-touched source file -- the reload doesn't do anything.This patch makes the touch move the source code's timestamp into the near future, so that it's always newer than the object code. This way the reload will always recompile it. The mechanism is pretty ugly and a bit of a hack, but seems to work on Linux and OS X.
