I have in mind extension for ccache which would allow it to be used with buildworld. Instead of using hashed values of compiler binary size and its last modification time, ccache should be using hash of the compiler binary. To avoid hashing several megabytes worth image on each invocation, compiler binary hash value can be by itself cached using hashed values of compiler binary size and its last modification time. Since linking the same objects from the cache is likely to produce the same binary, bootstrap compiler generated on the second ccached buildworld will be the same as one generated on the first one. -Maxim Ruslan Ermilov wrote: > On Sun, Sep 12, 2004 at 04:03:11PM +0200, Jens Schweikhardt wrote: > >>Following up myself, >> >>On Sun, Sep 12, 2004 at 01:24:11PM +0200, Jens Schweikhardt wrote: >># On Wed, Aug 25, 2004 at 11:33:42AM -0700, Kris Kennaway wrote: >># ... >># # BTW, I don't think there's anything to set up..you just set >># # CC="ccache cc" or similar. >> >>I've investigated further and found that the cc which is used >>after bootstrapping uses a different start for include path >>search, e.g. >> >>/usr/bin/cc -v ... >>#include "..." search starts here: >>#include <...> search starts here: >> /usr/include >>End of search list. >> >>/usr/obj/share/HEAD/src/i386/usr/bin/cc -v ... >>#include "..." search starts here: >>#include <...> search starts here: >> /usr/obj/share/HEAD/src/i386/usr/include >>End of search list. >> >>This is why the includes are not found when ccache is forced to use >>/usr/bin/cc.
