xcode4 - How does one compile single file Xcode 4?

Question

While I used to compile a single source file with Cmd+K in prior versions of Xcode, how does one do the same in Xcode 4? (Note that this is different than preprocessing or showing the disassembly of the file.) If compiling from a command line is proposed then it must be such that the project's settings, include paths, preprocessor definitions, etc., are all included.

An example use case is where I make a header file change but only want to test the change's effect with respect to a single source file, not all of the files that depend upon that header.

Answer 1

The command has been moved to the Perform Action submenu. Look under

Product > Perform Action > Compile filename.cpp

To assign Cmd+K to it, go to

File > Preferences > Key Bindings > Product Menu group

and you'll find Compile File where you can assign a key. Cmd+K is assigned to Clear Console now by default, so be sure to remove that binding to avoid conflicts.
