Prefix compiler, archiver and linker

Why

The most important reason is to use a compiler cache like ccache or sccache. This will improve your compilation times.

How to

You can wrap the compiler, archiver and linker by using the “prefix” element in Project.meta:

Compiler CPP, prefix: "sccache"
..

This can be also done via an adapt config:

Adapt {
  ExecutableConfig __MAIN__, project: __MAIN__, type: extend {
    DefaultToolchain {
      Compiler CPP, prefix: "some prefix"
    }
  }
}

Alternatively you can use $(CPPCompilerPrefix), $(CCompilerPrefix), $(ASMCompilerPrefix), $(CompilerPrefix), $(ArchiverPrefix) or $(LinkerPrefix). Example:

Set CompilerPrefix, value: "some other prefix"

Or simply define an environment variable in your system.

Priority (top to bottom):

prefix flags
$(CPPCompilerPrefix), $(CCompilerPrefix), $(ASMCompilerPrefix), $(ArchiverPrefix), $(LinkerPrefix)
$(CompilerPrefix)
