Question about runtime performance difference between @MergeSubcomponent and @ContributesSubcomponent about anvil HOT 2 CLOSED

There is no runtime difference, but there could be a difference at compile time. It could be that the size of your subcomponent grows because it may get generated in a different module and picks up more contributions, but this depends on your codebase and dependency graph.

What I like about @ContributesSubcomponent as opposed to @MergeSubcomponent is that you don't need to wait for a build which generates the dagger classes.

I don't understand this part. Anvil and Dagger will still generate all code, but maybe in a different module and different compilation step.

Thanks for your reply, glad to know it doesn't make a runtime performance difference.

And I can understand your comment, looking further into the samples it appears my comment doesn't make sense. I thought that just like @MergeComponent generates a DaggerMyComponent class, the same would be true for @MergeSubcomponent, but of course thats not the case. My bad.
