"gcc -MF depfile -MMD -MP -c -o path/to/file.o" produces a makefile
snippet named "depfile" describing what files are needed to build the
target given by "-o". When ccache versions before v3.0pre0~187 (Fix
handling of the -MD and -MDD options, 2009-11-01) run, they execute
gcc -MF depfile -MMD -MP -E
instead to get the final content for hashing. Notice that the "-c -o"
combination is replaced by "-E". The result is a target name without
a leading path.
Thus when building git with such versions of ccache with
COMPUTE_HEADER_DEPENDENCIES enabled, the generated makefile snippets
define dependencies for the wrong target:
$ make builtin/add.o
GIT_VERSION = 1.7.8.rc3
* new build flags or prefix
CC builtin/add.o
$ head -1 builtin/.depend/add.o.d
add.o: builtin/add.c cache.h git-compat-util.h compat/bswap.h strbuf.h \
After a change in a header file, object files in a subdirectory are
not automatically rebuilt by "make":
$ touch cache.h
$ make builtin/add.o
$
Luckily we can prevent trouble by explicitly supplying the name of the
target to ccache and gcc, using the -MQ option. Do so.
