Each of these units is processed by LLVM independently from one another, enabling parallelism. They are also the unit of incremental re-use. -completeness | soundness is a technical term in type theory. Completeness means that every type-safe program also type-checks. Having both soundness and completeness is very hard, and usually soundness is more important. (see "soundness"). +completeness | completeness is a technical term in type theory.
