ccache is a compiler cache. It acts as a caching pre-processor to C/C++
|
||
|
|
compilers, utilizing compiler output and a hash to detect when a
|
||
|
|
compilation can be satisfied from cache. This often results in a 5 to
|
||
|
|
10 times speedup in common compilations.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The most important aspect of ccache is to _always_ produce exactly
|
||
|
|
the same output that the real compiler would produce. This includes
|
||
|
|
providing exactly the same object files and exactly the same compiler
|
||
|
|
warnings that would be produced if you use the real compiler.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
ccache typically adds a little bit of a slowdown to uncached compiles,
|
||
|
|
but makes up for it with drastic speedups in already-seen compiles that
|
||
|
|
it has cached.
