A quick look at the code makes me believe it is a bug. looking at GIT Master, in client/log_flags.cpp, CC_CONFIG::parse_options_client() has on lines 414-415: if (xp.parse_int("ignore_intel_dev", n)) { ignore_gpu_instance[PROC_TYPE_INTEL_GPU].push_back(n);
but in lib/cc_config.cpp, CC_CONFIG::write() has on lines 626-630: for (i=0; i<ignore_gpu_instance[PROC_TYPE_INTEL_GPU].size(); ++i) { out.printf( " <ignore_intel_gpu_dev>%d</ignore_intel_gpu_dev>\n", ignore_gpu_instance[PROC_TYPE_INTEL_GPU][i] ); So it is expecting the option as <ignore_intel_dev>, but when it updates the file it writes the option as <ignore_intel_gpu_dev>.
