Build function for projects with multiple Translation Units
The thing with the hotloading dlls approach is that you can get most of the speed up you want by just recompiling the one you've changed and only that one, which managing for you is the entire point of make

result = standard_build_search(app, view,
                                       active_buffer,
                                       &dir_copy, command, perform_backup, false,
                                       make_lit_string("_build.c"),
                                       make_lit_string("\"tcc -run _build.c\""));
as my build command and using _spawnvp() within _build.c to call clang to compile stuff but anyone using the non-super version could just as easily call TCC from a .bat and do the same thing (if you don't mind depending on TCC or writing your build scripts in C) or for that matter you could use any other compiler and just do something like:
