hrm, looks like the mlm stripped out the attachment to the last mail, so here's the previous mail cutnpasted into the message body:
hi there, recently i was having a discussion regarding ccache with a co-worker, in the context of how derived objects could be cached to speed up a build process. the question came up: could a similar generalization be used for linked executables (thus wrapping ld along with cc)? for object files, you have the source file, included headers, compiler command-line, and compiler which are all considered dependencies for the derived object. couldn't it be possible to do the same trick for linked executables? for example, when linking, the hash could be computed from the object files being linked along with the standard stuff (cmdline args, compiler information, etc). what do you think? -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
