clcache changelog

Upcoming release

  • Bugfix: /MP no longer causes a greatly reduced cache hit rate.
  • Bugfix: In direct mode, clcache will no longer try to access non-existant header files (GH #200, GH #209).
  • Bugfix: Correctly cache and restore stdout/stderr output of compiler when building via the Visual Studio IDE.
  • Add support for the CL and _CL_ environment variables (GH #196).
  • Feature: A new CLCACHE_PROFILE environment variable is now recognised which can be used to make clcache generate profiling information. The generated data can be processed into a final report using a new showprofilereport.py script.
  • Improvement: Timeout errors when accessing the cache now generate friendlier error messages mentioning the possibility to work around the issue using the CLCACHE_OBJECT_CACHE_TIMEOUT_MS environment variable.
  • Improvement: Greatly improved concurrency of clcache such that concurrent invocations of the tool no longer block each other.

clcache 3.2.0 (2016-07-28)

  • Bugfix: When preprocessing was used together with an /Fo argument (which makes no sense), the handling was wrong.
  • Bugfix: Properly handle /Fi arguments
  • Bugfix: Fixed printing cached compiler output when using Python 2.x.
  • Dropped support for caching preprocessor invocations. The number of such invocations is now printed in the statistics (ccache -s).
  • Bugfix: In MSVS, arguments use the formats /NAMEparameter (no space, required value), /NAME[parameter] (no space, optional value), /NAME[ ]parameter (optional space), and /NAME parameter (required space). Before we always tried /NAMEparameter and if there if no parameter, tried /NAME parameter. This strategy was too simple and failed for like e.g. /Fo, which must not consume the following argument when no parameter is set.
  • Rework manifests: use JSON to store manifests. This makes all existing manifests invalid. Cleaning and clearing now removes old manifest files as well, so the old .dat files are automatically removed.
  • clcache now requires Python 3.3 or newer.
  • py2exe support was dropped, PyInstaller is now recommended for generating .exe files.

clcache 3.1.1 (2016-06-25)

  • Improvement: better protection against storing corrupt objects in the cache in case clcache is terminated in the middle of storing a new cache entry.
  • Improvement: The README now explains an approach to making Visual Studio pick up clcache.
  • Bugfix: Command files with multiple lines are now handled correctly.
  • Bugfix: Command files which contribute arguments ending in a backslash are now parsed correctly (GH #108).
  • Bugfix: Properly handle non-ASCII compiler output (GH #64)

clcache 3.1.0 (2016-06-09)

  • Cached objects are no longer shared between different clcache versions to avoid restoring objects which were stored incorrectly in older clcache versions.
  • Feature: The cache statistics now count the number of calls with /Zi (which causes debug information to be stored in separate .pdb files)
  • Feature: a new -c switch is now recognized which can be used to clean the cache. Cleaning the cache means trimming the cache to 90% of it's maximum size by deleting the oldest object. Doing this explicitly avoids that this happens automatically during a build.
  • Feature: a new -C switch was added which can be used to clear the cache. Clearing the cache removes all cached objects, but keeps all hit/miss statistics.
  • Improvement: The ccache -s output is now prettier.
  • Improvement: cleaning outdated cache entries is now a lot faster
  • Bugfix: Support use of py2exe with Python 3.4
  • Bugfix: Support includes parsing when cl language is not English (GH #65)
  • Bugfix: Fix bug causing statistics to get corrupted after concurrent invocations (GH #70).
  • Bugfix: Invalid values passed via -M are now handle gracefully.
  • Bugfix: The cache size and the number of cached entries is now updated correctly after pruning outdated objects.
  • Internal: major overhaul to the test infrastructure: a lot more tests are now executed on each change, and they are executed automatically via AppVeyor.
  • Internal: a lot of issues (both cosmetic as well as semantic) reported by pylint have been fixed. pylint is now also executed for each change to the codebase via AppVeyor.

clcache 3.0.2 (2016-01-29)

  • Python 3 compatibility
  • Add new env variable to control clcache lock timeout
  • Bugfix: Fix recompile bug in direct mode when header changed
  • Bugfix: Fix compile error when clcache is used with precompiled headers
  • Bugfix: /MP[processMax] was not properly parsed when processMax was unset
  • Bugfix: Properly handle arguments including \" (e.g. /Fo"Release\")
  • Bugfix: Ensure the destination folder exists when copying object
  • Bugfix: Fix crash when using CLCACHE_NODIRECT by restoring missing argument
  • Bugfix: Fix fork-bomb when py2exe is used

Implementation details

  • Setup CI system
  • Add some basic tests
