Just out of curiousity really - is there a way to identify ccache masquaraded as as compiler, if it's not a symlink and without renaming it? Is there some flag left that underlying ccache will respond to? |

There is no official way to do that, but here are two hacky ways I can think of: $ gcc -x c -c /dev/null --ccache-skip &>/dev/null && echo ccache || echo not ccache
ccache
$ /usr/bin/gcc -x c -c /dev/null --ccache-skip &>/dev/null && echo ccache || echo not ccache
not ccache$ CCACHE_COMPILER=nonexistent gcc --version &>/dev/null && echo not ccache || echo ccache
ccache
$ CCACHE_COMPILER=nonexistent /usr/bin/gcc --version &>/dev/null && echo not ccache || echo ccache
not ccache |
