I agree with the general approach. I suspect a common case where people hit this is something like 'make && sudo make install' which can end up with some files being owned by a different user. In a sense they ought to fix this but perhaps many people would prefer to just have some stuff uncached. I would be inclined to at least give a suppressible warning rather than just silently falling back. -- Martin _______________________________________________ ccache mailing list [email protected] https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/ccache
