  ccache – a fast compiler cache

  

I worked with the internals of this some 16 years ago, maintaining a customized version at Zeugma Systems. Some change of mine was reworked by someone and upstreamed:

  Sccache is a ccache-like tool. It is used as a compiler wrapper and avoids compilation when possible. Sccache has the capability to utilize caching in remote storage environments, including various cloud storage options, or alternatively, in local storage.

Using it locally too, works great on Mac, but on Windows ccache has some problems caching debug builds. IIRC the embedded debug symbols use absolute paths, so the presence of this particular flag (/Z something...) disables cache eligibility.

  Distributed compiler with a central scheduler to share build load (by icecc)

  

If you like distcc, did you ever give icecc a try?

I never had the time to set it up properly, but by the looks of it, it should be even better.

• confcache

  1 0 10.0 Python

Many years ago there was confcache¹, that for a time was integrated in to portage via a FEATURES flag for Gentoo users. It wasn't particularly useful in the general case, and never really worked that well in practice. I don't recall the idea really taking off anywhere else, and I can't remember when it finally disappeared in Gentoo either(but it was a looooong time ago).

¹ The only source I've found right now is https://github.com/fxttr/confcache

I wrote a little bit about this a couple of years ago: https://blog.williammanley.net/2020/05/25/unlock-software-fr...

gittup[1] implements part of this idea, but without the distributed bit. bazel[2] implements the distributed bit (minus trust), but not the distro bit. What's really lacking is momentum around the idea to get a sufficient number of people behind it.
