## ccache-4.13.6 – C/C++ compiler front-end to cache compiled object code

## Description

    ccache is a compiler cache.  It acts as a caching pre-processor to
    C/C++ compilers, utilizing compiler output 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.

    The most important aspect of ccache is to _always_ produce exactly
    the same output that the real compiler would produce.  This includes
    providing exactly the same object files and exactly the same compiler
    warnings that would be produced if you use the real compiler.

    ccache typically adds a little bit of a slowdown to uncached compiles,
    but makes up for it with drastic speedups in already-seen compiles
    that it has cached.
