Have you tried clang with ccache?  Any tricks?

No, I haven't tried that.  Actually, I don't believe I've ever even
tried using ccache at all (at least, not that I can recall).  :-)


You've piqued my curiosity here.  :-)

I'm doing a buildworld at the moment using ccache with clang.  So far,
all is well, no problems.  Didn't do anything special to get started,
just "ccache make -DNO_CLEAN -j8 buildworld" (I have all that
clang-enabling stuff already in /etc/make.conf).  I know this first run
won't really show me much, other than that it *will* compile OK.
Subsequent runs should be interesting, though.  :-)

A few tests earlier today showed that with everything in cache, it took about 1.5 to 2 times as long to build with clang versus gcc 4.2.1. It was faster with a full cache than without, of course: clang took 38 minutes with nothing in cache, about 12 minutes with everything cached, and gcc buildworlds have been as fast as six minutes. A gcc all-cached test I just tried was 7:47.

For some reason, buildworlds on this Core I5 are much faster when running powerd -a hadp than without. And somewhat variable.
