question
I dont know if this is a dumb question or not, but if a file doesnt build successfully can it still compile?
Do you mean "if a program doesn't compile, can it still run?" If so, no it can't. However, if you're using Visual Studio it may seem like a program that didn't compile is running anyway if you've told it to run the last successful build.
As far as I know that the build process is compiling then linking. If you have more than 1 source file it is possible to compile them successfully but the build is unsuccessful. It means that the problem occurs during linking.
It shows that your source files are doesn't have an error individually. But when they interact which other it creates errors. Maybe you have naming clashes or your trying to include header files more than once. These are just some of the possibilities as far as I'm concerned.
