ccache is mostly beneficial for frequent builds where -DNO_CLEAN is not
used to achieve a safe pseudo-incremental build. This is explained in
more detail upstream [1] [2]. It incurs about a 20%-28% hit to populate the
cache, but with a full cache saves 30-50% in build times. When combined with
the WITH_FAST_DEPEND feature it saves up to 65% since ccache does cache the
resulting dependency file, which it does not do when using mkdep(1)/'CC
-E'. Stats are provided at the end of this message.
This removes the need to modify /etc/make.conf with the CC:= and CXX:=
lines which conflicted with external compiler support [3] (causing the
bootstrap compiler to not be built which lead to obscure failures [4]),
incorrectly invoked ccache in various stages, required CCACHE_CPP2 to avoid
Clang errors with parenthesis, and did not work with META_MODE.
The option name was picked to match the existing option in ports. This
feature is available for both in-src and out-of-src builds that use
/usr/share/mk.
Linking, assembly compiles, and pre-processing avoid using ccache since it is
only overhead. ccache does nothing special in these modes, although there is
no harm in calling it for them.
CCACHE_COMPILERCHECK is set to 'content' when using the in-tree bootstrap
compiler to hash the content of the compiler binary to determine if it
should be a cache miss. For external compilers the 'mtime' option is used
as it is more efficient and likely to be correct. Future work may optimize the
'content' check using the same checks as whether a bootstrap compiler is needed
to be built.
The CCACHE_CPP2 pessimization is currently default in our devel/ccache
port due to Clang requiring it. Clang's -Wparentheses-equality,
-Wtautological-compare, and -Wself-assign warnings do not mix well with
compiling already-pre-processed code that may have expanded macros that
trigger the warnings. GCC has so far not had this issue so it is allowed to
disable the CCACHE_CPP2 default in our port.
Sharing a cache between multiple checkouts, or systems, is explained in
the ccache manual. Sharing a cache over NFS would likely not be worth
it, but syncing cache directories between systems may be useful for an
organization. There is also a memcached backend available [5]. Due to using
an object directory outside of the source directory though you will need to
ensure that both are in the same prefix and all users use the same layout. A
possible working layout is as follows:
Source: /some/prefix/src1
Source: /some/prefix/src2
Source: /some/prefix/src3
Objdir: /some/prefix/obj
Environment: CCACHE_BASEDIR='${SRCTOP:H}' MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX='${SRCTOP:H}/obj'
This will use src*/../obj as the MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX and tells ccache to replace
all absolute paths to be relative. Using something like this is required due
to -I and -o flags containing both SRC and OBJDIR absolute paths that ccache
adds into its hash for the object without CCACHE_BASEDIR.
distcc can be hooked into by setting CCACHE_PREFIX=/usr/local/bin/distcc.
I have not personally tested this and assume it will not mix well with
using the bootstrap compiler.
The cache from buildworld can be reused in a subdir by first running
'make buildenv' (from r290424).
Note that the cache is currently different depending on whether -j is
used or not due to ccache enabling -fdiagnostics-color automatically if
stderr is a TTY, which bmake only does if not using -j.
The system I used for testing was:
WITNESS
Build options: -j20 WITH_LLDB=yes WITH_DEBUG_FILES=yes WITH_CCACHE_BUILD=yes
DISK: ZFS 3-way mirror with very slow disks using SSD l2arc/log.
The arc was fully populated with src tree files and ccache objects.
RAM: 76GiB
CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU L5520 @2.27GHz
2 package(s) x 4 core(s) x 2 SMT threads = hw.ncpu=16
The WITH_FAST_DEPEND feature was used for comparison here as well to show
the dramatic time savings with a full cache.

Bmake has a documented feature of '-N' to skip executing commands which is
specifically intended for debugging top-level builds and not recursing into
sub-directories. This matches the older 'make -n' behavior we added which made
'-n -n' the recursing target and '-n' a non-recursing target.
Removing the '-n -n' feature allows the build to work as documented in
the bmake manpage with '-n' and '-N'. The older '-n -n' feature was also
not documented anywhere that I could see.
Note that the ${_+_} var is still needed as currently bmake incorrectly
executes '+' commands when '-N' is specified.
The '-n' and '-n -n' features were broken for several reasons prior to this.
r251748 made '_+_' never expand with '-n -n' which resulted in many
sub-directories not being visited until fixed 2 years later in r288391, and
many targets were given .MAKE over the past few years which resulted in
non-sub-make commands, such as rm and ln and mtree, to be executed.
This should also allow removing some indirection hacks in bsd.subdir.mk and
other cases of .USE that have a .MAKE by using '+'.

During "make buildworld", building bmake is (one of) the very first steps
and we should not be building any of its tests. Conceptually, this is the
right thing to do 1) for build simplicity reasons and 2) because there is
no need to build any tests this early on.
In practice, this fixes tinderbox builds of CURRENT from 9.x when MK_TESTS
is enabled. This is because bsd.test.mk needs some modern bmake features
not present in 9.x (:tW) and tinderbox is forcing the build to use the
CURRENT share/mk files from the very beginning (see r266617). By skipping
the build of the tests when still using the host make, we omit the problem.
Arguably, what tinderbox is doing is wrong and needs to be addressed, but
that is a separate issue.

starting the kernels. Before this the kernels would be built as part of the
last architecture universe target. There can cause problems when this world
finishes before the other worlds as the host compiler may be picked up
rather than the target compiler.
The solution is to add a target to build the universe kernels that depends
on all the world targets finishing. As we may not be building a world only
depend on it when MAKE_JUST_KERNELS is undefined.
The automation can set TARGET_ARCH and TARGET and then make various
top-level targets, including buildLINT and buildkernel (with
KERNCONF=LINT). Previously there was no way to generate the LINT
kernel configuration without having to do something exceptionally
painful.
1. Don't do upgrade_checks when using bmake. As long as we have WITH_BMAKE,
there's a bootstrap complication in ths respect. Avoid it. Make the
necessary changes to have upgrade_checks work wth bmake anyway.
2. Remove the use of -E. It's not needed in our build because we use ?= for
the respective variables, which means that we'll take the environment
value (if any) anyway.
3. Properly declare phony targets as phony as bmake is a lot smarter (and
thus agressive) about build avoidance.
4. Make sure CLEANFILES is complete and use it on .NOPATH. bmake is a lot
smarter about build avoidance and should not find files we generate in
the source tree. We should not have files in the repository we want to
generate, but this is an easier way to cross this hurdle.
5. Have behavior under bmake the same as it is under make with respect to
halting when sub-commands fail. Add "set -e" to compound commands so
that bmake is informed when sub-commands fail.
6. Make sure crunchgen uses the same make as the rest of the build. This
is important when the make utility isn't called make (but bmake for
example).
7. While here, add support for using MAKEOBJDIR to set the object tree

- 1st to build worlds and generate kernel configs like LINT.
- 2nd to build kernels for a given TARGET architecture correctly
finding all newly generated configs, not knowing anything about
LINT anymore. (*)
(*) If you know better/cleaner/... ways to do this, let me know.

you can build the cross development tools and install them as
$XDEV-freebsd-xxx for each tool. This allows one to use autoconf to
find the tools for cross building scenarios.
`make universe'. This catches a few more arm and, once enabled, mips
configs and permits having local configs named like NOINET6.

a developer can rest reasonably assured that the tinderbox will not
be broken. This target leverages most of 'universe' but will exit
non-zero and output a summary at the end.
"make tinderbox"
no active development on it for over a year now and it isn't
reliable under a simple buildworld. Developers can't be expected to
test code targeted for it.
only matters in the early stages of bootstrapping, of course, but gnu make can't
handle bsd make Makefiles at all if they use any of the 'dot' directives, which
src/Makefile has in abudnance.
and that controls which platforms are being built as part of a "make
universe". By default TARGETS is set to the 8 platforms currently
being built. This variable is useful for running or re-running a
"make universe" with only a selected set of platforms. This makes the
universe target slightly more useful in cases the universe is limited
to a developer's scope or objectives. For example, when a universe
failed for a particular platform and fixes need to be tested for that
particular platform then a developer can restart the universe for
only that platform, even if the initial universe is still building
other platforms.
