[OpenSCAD] un-refreshed cache (?) issue (on Windows 10)

[runsun]

I have been bothered by an issue of un-refreshed cache (in fact not even know
what to call it) for a while.

First of all this is Windows 10. It goes this way:

module m(...){ ... }
m();

then I modified content, lets say, add an echo:

module m(...){ ... ; echo(...); }
m();

but the revised content is not reflected (in this case, nothing is showing
up in the console).

If I then change the name of the module to :

module m2(...){ ... ; echo(...); }
m2();

OpenSCAD complains "WARNING: Ignoring unknown module 'm'. " even though I
don't call m() this time.

Clearning cache or restarting OpenSCAD doesn't help.

Also puzzling is that it happens sometimes but not all the time and I have
no way to predict when it will occur.

I suspect this is a Window problem but not sure. Anyone knows of what
happens and how to fix it ?

Is it possible your clock is is going backwards on your PC?

Doesn't seem like it. At least the time is correct as of now, and the problem
persists.

So openscad still complains about things no longer in the source code after
a restart?

It doesn't have a persistent cache, so I have no idea how it can see an out
of date version of the source code after a restart. Are you using an
external editor?

Apology for late reply. Yes I am using an external editor.

As of now, the issue no longer exits after the Windows restarted overnight
two days ago.
