Hello, I believe I found a potential bug with ccache that results in cache-miss if -Bprfix compilation option is used, where prefix specifies where to find the executables, libraries, include files, and data files of the compiler itself.
Example, if my compilation command is: CCACHE_BASEDIR=$PWD ccache gcc -c hello.c -o hello.o -B$PWD/linkfarm/sysroot-x86_64_cge7/usr/lib64/4.7.0/ then, from what I understand, ccache is considering this argument -B$PWD/linkfarm/sysroot-x86_64_cge7/usr/lib64/4.7.0/ as well, while creating the basic-hash for direct cache lookup, but without rewriting it into its relative path based on CCACHE_BASEDIR setting. Thus, the hash so generated is for the absolute path of this workspace, and cannot be reused from another build sandbox. I verified that the changes done in the fork https://github.com/venkrao/ccache-1/commit/59e5244dd79b0fc7df682c8f3c05b778a3d00f91 fixes the problem. To verify that -Bprefix is also put into the hash, with its absolute path, I put a debug statement on the line https://github.com/venkrao/ccache-1/blob/59e5244dd79b0fc7df682c8f3c05b778a3d00f91/ccache.c#L1594 Please help to verify my understanding and the fix. Thanks, Venkat. _______________________________________________ ccache mailing list ccache@lists.samba.org https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/ccache
