17:34:14 GMT 4 Mar 2004 Ob-it's been a really really
<b>really</b> long time... <p> For today, this is just a wee
note about my <a href="" title="Diary entry for 28 October 2002"
>previous entry</a>, in which I had found an inadequacy in <a
href="" >ccache</a>'s hash. It had returned a cached object with
incorrect file paths in its debug information, which the linker
was then printing out in warnings and error messages. <p> Other
people must have been noticing that too, because soon thereafter
ccache acquired a <tt>CCACHE_HASHDIR</tt> option to put the
whole path into the hash calculation. <p> That wouldn't help me
much, of course, because with my build directory varying daily
it would be the same thing as just disabling the cache entirely!
Instead, I wound up using a small sed script to canonicalise the
logs before I looked at them. <p> Pretty stone age, but
effective. Tue, 29 Oct 2002 02:24:56 GMT
