Abstract
The disclosed embodiments provide a system that facilitates the compilation of a software program. During operation, the system uses a directory hierarchy for the software program to infer a compilation unit to be used in the software program as a member of a module. Next, the system obtains a module declaration for the module using the directory hierarchy. Finally, the system enables compilation of the software program by dynamically identifying and locating one or more dependencies of the module using the module declaration and the directory hierarchy.
