Ccache is a software development tool that caches compiler output so that the next time, the same compiling can be avoided and the results can be read from the cache. This can greatly speed recompiling time. The detection is done by fingerprinting different kinds of information that should be unique for the output, by using a hash function and then using the hash sum to identify the cached output. Ccache is free and open-source software released under a GNU General Public License.
