Sccache
A ccache-like compiler wrapper that caches compilation outputs locally or in remote storage to speed up build times.
What is Sccache?
sccache is a shared compilation cache tool that acts as a compiler wrapper to avoid redundant compilation. It caches compiled outputs and reuses them when the same source code and compiler arguments are detected, dramatically speeding up build times for C/C++, Rust, CUDA, and other languages. It supports both local and remote storage backends for cache sharing across machines.
Developers and DevOps engineers working on large codebases in C/C++, Rust, or CUDA who want to reduce compilation times in local development and CI/CD pipelines.
sccache offers a secure, distributed caching solution with support for multiple languages and cloud storage backends, unlike ccache which is primarily local. Its icecream-style distributed compilation includes authentication and encryption, making it suitable for team and CI environments.
Overview
Sccache is a ccache-like tool. It is used as a compiler wrapper and avoids compilation when possible. Sccache has the capability to utilize caching in remote storage environments, including various cloud storage options, or alternatively, in local storage.
