This is something I've always struggled with not only with Dev-C++ but with C++ development as a whole. So every now and then I have to add a new class variable. I have to recompile my whole project (20+ classes, several thousand lines of code) for changing a single variable. I know this can't be avoided due to the nature of separate header and implementation files, but it would be cool if Dev-C++ could detect which header file changed and see which implementation files use that header and mark them for re-compilation.
Just throwing that out there. ;3

Hey LEOcab! I think it would help if you would open a feature request on the project issue tracker:
