  It should tell Dev that you wish to recompile a source file in case one of the header files it includes is newer than the object file (obtained by compiling the source file).
  
  I don't know how things are in latest version of Dev, but on 4.9.6.0 (or better: up to 4.9.6.0), the feature was not working as advertised.
