Abstract
The disclosed embodiments provide a system that facilitates the development and compilation of a software program. During operation, the system obtains a set of compilation units to be used in the software program and a version order associated with a programming language of the compilation units. Next, for each compilation unit from the set of compilation units, the system uses the version order to select a version of the programming language that is compatible with the compilation unit. The system then uses the version to compile the compilation unit.
