sccache 0.18.0 - Compiler Cache Wrapper

sccache is a compiler wrapper developed by Mozilla that functions similarly to ccache. It is designed to accelerate build processes by avoiding unnecessary recompilation when possible. This tool is particularly useful for developers and build systems that frequently compile large codebases, as it caches compilation results to save time. sccache supports both local storage and remote cloud storage environments, making it versatile for various development setups.

Key features:

• Acts as a compiler wrapper to avoid redundant compilation steps.
• Supports caching in local storage environments.
• Utilizes remote storage options, including various cloud providers.
• Compatible with multiple compiler frontends such as GCC and Clang.
• Handles MSVC and CUDA compilation workflows.
• Includes multi-level cache support for flexible storage configurations.
• Features Azure backend integration with passwordless authentication.
• Open-source software licensed under Apache-2.0.

What's new in version 0.18.0:

• Improved cache-key correctness by including the assembler in the key.
• SCCACHE_BASEDIRS now strips base directories from compiler arguments.
• Added support for MSVC/clang flags like /openmp:llvm and /fsanitize*.
• Enhanced CUDA support for version 13.3 and Windows dryrun lines.
• Fixed multi-level cache issues where read-only levels affected writability.
• Azure backend now supports Microsoft Entra ID authentication.
