The "Artifacts" System developed under the DARPA ProtoTech (rapid
prototyping environments research) program does something similar.
Whenever you "commit" (save) a file, it automatically schedules background
jobs to create any derived files that it can. So, if you commit a Ada (or
C) source file, it schedules the compilation, and any pretty-printers,
metrics tools, or other facilities that produce derivatives of the source
file. It will do a link as well if dependencies allow it.


So this is not exactly what you asked for, but if you use lots of small
compilation units, it will have much the same effect.
