What are some examples of using ccache?

Ccache is a compiler cache that speeds up recompilation by caching previous compilations. For example, if you compile a project and then make a small change, ccache can reuse the previous compilation results instead of recompiling everything from scratch.

Can you give me a specific command to use ccache?

Sure! You can use ccache with the gcc compiler like this: ccache gcc -o my_program my_program.c. This command will cache the compilation results.

How do I check the cache statistics?

You can check the cache statistics by running the command ccache -s. This will show you information like cache hits, misses, and the size of the cache.

Is there a way to clear the cache?

Yes, you can clear the cache by using the command ccache -C. This will remove all cached files.

What are the benefits of using ccache?

The main benefits include faster build times, reduced resource usage, and improved developer productivity.
