Is there a 'ccache' for Visual Studio? [closed]

Question

I am aware that scons implements the functionality of ccache, but I am stuck with another build system.

I also know there is a gocache project on SourceForge that aims to implement ccache-like functionality for other compilers, but it seems not complete.

Answer 1

A shameless plug, but I wrote a Python script which attempts to work just like ccache, except that it can wrap MSVC. See https://github.com/frerich/clcache

Answer 2

There's an unofficial patch to ccache to support MSVC, but I haven't yet tried it myself...

Answer 3

Stashed

It supports PDB, PCH, and has a nice dashboard.

Answer 4

It is a bit more of a plug. I've been using it to shave about 35% off our Cygwin Visual Studio 2012 builds.

Answer 5

Incredibuild is very nice, though it is more like distcc for Visual Studio than ccache.

If you want both ccache and distcc for a Visual Studio environment, try Stashed along with Incredibuild at the same time. It works a lot like ccache + distcc for Linux, without the configuration or administrative overhead.
