Single `clang-scan-deps` invocation maintains a shared in-memory cache of the filesystem between its threads for all TUs it's given. This means invoking `clang-scan-deps` once for each TU is not as efficient as it could be. At Apple, we only use `clang-scan-deps` for the in-tree tests. In production, we actually wrap the C++ interface and expose a libclang API that is able to take advantage of caching to improve performance. To be honest, I'm surprised `clang-scan-deps` is being integrated into build systems as-is, especially without utilizing the cache.

So the P1689 <https://reviews.llvm.org/P1689> output is the primary scanner output, but you're also relying on emitting `.d` files to track the actual FS dependencies. > The object can be obtained from the `-o` on the command line, but the rest is > "lying" if it is extracted from the clang command line and not given to > `clang-scan-deps` directly. I see your point. But since `clang-scan-deps` is built around reusing the same FS cache for scanning multiple TUs, you'd need to specify these arguments (that we currently extract from Clang command line) for all of those TUs. That's not very convenient, neither through the command line nor via a separate config file. ================ Comment at: clang/test/ClangScanDeps/P1689.cppm:11 +// RUN: clang-scan-deps -format=p1689 \ +// RUN: -- %clang++ -std=c++20 -c -fprebuilt-module-path=%t %t/M.cppm -o %t/M.o \ +// RUN: | FileCheck %t/M.cppm -DPREFIX=%/t ---------------- I'm fairly happy with the `clang-scan-deps` interface now (besides the performance aspect mentioned in another comment). @ChuanqiXu what would happen if you run this Clang command line directly?
