What can go wrong

The automatic instantiation scheme has some limitations that should be noted:

• No directory locking takes place, therefore there will be problems if multiple compilation processes share the same files and directories.

• The existence of old .ii and .ti files can disrupt automatic instantiation in arbitrary ways. If you suspect problems of this nature, delete all existing .ii and .ti files and start over.

• Manual editing of a .ii or .ti file can likewise cause problems.

• Naming conventions must be followed.

• Source files must be available to replay.
