What does HackerNews think of zapcc?
zapcc is a caching C++ compiler based on clang, designed to perform faster compilations
Language:
C++
#22
in
C++
zapcc used to work exactly like this. Sadly it was never merged back in clang even after being open sourced.
How does it compare to zapcc? My team used it a few years ago.
It doesn’t IIRC. But, you can combine it with ccache which can use a NFS share.
If you use clang, that might be of interest: https://github.com/yrnkrn/zapcc
I wish someone would pick up the zapcc project. Compilers do an insane amount of duplicated and redundant work and there's tremendous potential for speeding up C++ builds if you are willing to rethink how the compiler works a little bit. https://github.com/yrnkrn/zapcc
