I have been working on implementing some new combustion stuff for a multiphase solver. One of my debugging tactics is to change some of the source to print out variables of interest so i can be sure what is happening.

The usual workflow depending on how the library is built into the solver (run time selectable (rts) or not) is

1. Modify the source code of interest
2. run wmake to rebuild the library that contains the modified source file
3. Possibly rebuild the solver (depending on whether or not the modified functionality is rts or not)
4. run solver and take note of modified output

Currently I am working with a slightly modified version of coalChemistryFoam (OF v. 4.1) and modifying the laminar.C file in the combustion library (so the laminar combustion model). When I modify laminar.C and wmake the combustion library the changes are not make to the library and do not show up when I run my solver (even if I recompile the solver, which shouldn't matter I think because the combustion model is rts).

However if I wclean the library after making/saving my changes to laminar.C and then I wmake I can see that the changes have been made to the library when I run my solver.

Why am I having to wclean it in this situation when normally just recompiling with wmake will work?
