Package ccache-3.1.7-1

ccache acts as a caching pre-processor to C/C++ compilers, using the -E compiler switch and a hash to detect when a compilation can be satisfied from cache. This often results in a 5 to 10 times speedup in common compilations. If you wish ccache to be the default compiler (to override and send ALL compilations through ccache), install the "ccache-default" package. See f90cache for the Fortran equivalent of ccache.

To use ccache manually, point your builds to use CC="ccache gcc" and CXX="ccache g++" (if using gcc). Passing these variables to most autoconf produced configure scripts should work. By default ccache will create a cache in ~/.ccache, but this location can be overriden by the CCACHE_DIR environment variable. If you wish ccache to be the default compiler (to override and send ALL compilations through ccache), install the "ccache-default" package.
