           Summary: recompilation should not be suppressed if compiler
                    version has changed
           Product: Swift
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: General
        AssignedTo: benc at hawaga.org.uk
        ReportedBy: benc at hawaga.org.uk
                CC: swift-devel at ci.uchicago.edu


Given the frequency at which we make cross-version incompatible changes to our
intermediate file formats and runtime libraries, swift should not suppress
recompilation of intermediate files if the compiler version that generated the
intermediate files is different from the present version. (This includes both
older and newer versions, rather than a stricter 'newer compiler' test)

Recompilation suppression in this situation has caused trouble for people a few
times.
