Yeah, obviously I didn't think that one through completely :-)

For the hash to work (or rather: not work), then the preprocessor
needs to keep the comments in. Normally those don't affect the
object file, and discarding them is a feature - you get cache hits
when you only change a comment that doesn't affect the .o output.

But if you are using something like Doxygen, you do get output. Later.

And it does of course affect the .stderr output, that you were after.

Seems like both could be useful... (available as separate options)

I added the option, at: https://github.com/jrosdahl/ccache/pull/74

Actually it should work out-of-the-box now, including the coloring.
It's also part of the test scope now, on both OS X and Linux (ELF).
Hopefully that means it'll continue to work, thanks to Travis CI.
I meant in the ccache manual, but who reads those things anyway :-)

And you now (soon) have a "keep_comments_cpp" config to complement it!

Now, wonder if ccache actually compiles with -Weverything enabled ?
Nope - that seems to take a lot of effort. Only 187 errors remaining.
