Hi ccache developers, I was wondering if the hash values generated by ccache are globally unique. I was thinking about adding a multicast feature where after not finding a cached object file in the local cache, but before trying to compile the file, ccache will multicast to it's neighbors the hash value to see if another local machine has the cached object file corresponding the the hash value. For this to work, however, I would think the hash values MUST be globally unique across platforms and compilers. Is that the case?
BTW, the reason for this feature is... a) I've been assigned a 5 day project to do whatever I'm interested in b) our computer all do nightly builds and build throughout the day, but headers are now changing so frequently that local caches are marginalized c) distcc takes too much configuration/coordination, however, multicasting takes zero configuration/coordination Thanks in advance, Reuben _______________________________________________ ccache mailing list [email protected] https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/ccache
