Only try to hard link object files to/from the cache
The compiler unlinks the destination object file before writing, but it
apparently doesn’t do that for dependency files. This means that
compilation can corrupt a .d file that shares i-node with a cached .d
file when using the hard link mode. Here is a scenario where this can
happen:
1. There is a test.c which includes test.h.
2. When test.c is compiled, the compiler writes test.d which mentions
test.h and ccache hard links test.d into cache entry 1. test.d and
cache entry 1's .d file now share i-nodes.
3. The include of test.h is removed from test.c.
4. When test.c is compiled again the compiler overwrites test.d with new
content without test.h and ccache hard links test.d into cache entry
2. test.d, cache entry 1 and cache entry 2 now share i-nodes, all of
which contain the new content without test.h.
Since we can’t be sure how the compiler behaves for other types of files
(.dwo, .cov, etc.), only try to to hard link object files.

Copy directly from cache to destination file instead of via tmp file
ccache copies files to the cache via a temporary file which is then
renamed into place. For simplicity reasons the same file copy function
is used when copying files from the cache as well. This however makes
ccache fail for very long destination filenames.
Fix this by introducing a “via_tmp_file” parameter to copy_file, similar
to how it works on master.

Improve handling of profiling options
Handling of -fprofile-{generate,use}[=path] was implemented in PR #2
(2011). ccache has since then gained support for Clang, which is not
GCC-compatible for -fprofile-{generate,use}[=path]. Furthermore, GCC 9
changed the semantics of -fprofile-{generate,use}=path, making it
incompatible with ccache’s original implementation.
One crucial problem with the implementation is that there is no error
handling when the expected profiling data file cannot be found. This
means that there will be false positives cache hits for Clang and GCC
9+.
Fix this by:
* Checking for different profiling data file locations to handle
different compilers and versions.
* Bailing out if no profiling data file can be found.
Also:
* Implemented support for Clang’s -fprofile-instr-{generate,use}[=path]
options.
* Implemented support for -fauto-profile[=path].
* Removed the conversion of absolute path to the profile directory. 91a2954e says that the directory is rewritten to increase the hit
rate, but I don’t understand how that could be the case.
* Added tests for the profiling options. Exception:
-fauto-profile[=path], since that would require running the perf tool.

Disable hard link mode when the output object file is /dev/null
When hard link mode is enabled, ccache ≥3.6 unlinks the output file
before writing to it as a workaround for a bug in Clang (#331). This
unfortunately means that /dev/null will be removed when building as root

/dev/null, regardless of hard link mode.
Fix this by not unlinking the output file if it’s /dev/null and by not
copying files to /dev/null at all. (There is no need to handle other
non-regular output files since /dev/null is the only allowed non-regular
output file.)

Make sure to always log a “Result:” line
Fixes #500.
A side effect of this is that read-only cache misses now will update the
“cache miss” statistics counter, which is consistent with the cache hit
cases (which already now update the counters).
The reason for reverting is that the change introduced a nasty bug: the
dependency file will get an incorrect object file location if 1) build
directory != source directory and 2) -MF is not specified explictly by
the user.
Details: The dependency file is created by the preprocessor pass which
does not have access to the final output file name, so the preprocessor
uses the default object location derived from the source file location
instead.
Note that this partly reverts a compatibility improvement for EDG-based
compilers (see issue #460).
It should be possible to pass the dependency arguments to the compiler
instead of the preprocessor to make -MD/-MMD without -MQ work, but
that’s too risky to be done as a bug fix.

Remove the unify mode
The unify mode has not received enough attention and has at least these
bugs:
1. The direct mode doesn’t work if the unify mode is enabled. This is
because the unify mode doesn’t call into process_preprocessed_file
which stores the paths and hashes of included files needed by the
direct mode.
2. The .incbin directive detection has no effect when using the unify
mode. This is again because the unify mode doesn’t use
process_preprocessed_file which is where the .incbin detection takes
place.
3. The unifier’s tokenizer doesn’t understand C++11 raw string literals.
4. The unifier ignores comments, but comments may have semantic meaning
to modern compilers, e.g. “fall through” comments.
Bugs 3 and 4 are fixable by improving the unifier’s tokenization
algorithm, but since it’s a bit tricky it likely won’t be worth the
effort, especially not as a bug fix.
Bugs 1 and 2 are also fixable by unifying the two code paths, but that’s
a non-trivial effort.
In addition to the bugs, I believe that the usefullness of the unify
mode is low:
* It’s only applicable when not using -g.
* It won't be enabled for C++ unless somebody fixes bug 3.
* It can make line numbers in warning messages and __LINE__ expansions
incorrect.
* Since comments should not be ignored, the unify mode can only make a
difference for some types of whitespace changes, like adding or
removing blank lines or changing a+b to a + b. (a + b is already
normalized to a + b by the preprocessor.)
Therefore I’ll just remove the unify mode to fix the bugs.

Always include input file path in direct mode hash
The “file_macro sloppiness” mode is a way of opting out of inclusion of
the input file path in the direct mode hash. This can produce a false
cache hit in the following scenario:
- a/r.h exists.
- a/x.c has #include "r.h".
- b/x.c is identical to a/x.c.
- Compiling a/x.c records a/r.h in the manifest.
- Compiling b/x.c results in a false cache hit since a/x.c and b/x.c
share manifests and a/r.h exists.
Therefore, ditch the file_macro sloppiness mode so that the input file
path is always included in the direct mode hash.
This bug has existed ever since the file_macro sloppiness was introduced
in eb5d9bd3beb5 (ccache 3.0). It has remained undetected since
compilations tend to use .d files and ccache before 3.7.5 added an
implicit “-MQ <output_file_path>” argument, thus in practice including
the output file path in the hash and therefore making manifests unique
when the object file path mirrors the source file path. However, ccache
3.7.5 no longer adds the implicit -MQ option, thus exposing the bug.

Don’t pass -Werror and compilation-only options to the preprocessor
Clang emits warnings when it sees unused options, so when ccache runs

warnings which would not be present when not using ccache. And if
-Werror is present then the preprocessing step fails, which needless to

* Options known to have the above mentioned problem are not passed to

* In addition, -Werror is also not passed to the preprocessor so that

Fix PCH detection in depend mode (+test improvements) (#427)
* do not refer to Clang's PTH in tests
The PTH feature has been removed (https://reviews.llvm.org/D54547)
and according to the commit it has never really been used. Maybe this
made sense somewhen in the past, but now those .pth files must be PCHs
internally. This commit actually just changes the .pth extensions
to .pch to avoid confusion, technically nothing should change
except for filenames.
* try to share PCH tests between GCC and Clang
Clang is supposed to be a drop-in for GCC, so in general it should
be able to handle everything GCC can. That's not completely true
in practice, there are differences, but it doesn't make sense
to completely duplicate a testcase just because there are some
differences. So start creating a shared common base for the PCH
tests and do separately only tests that act differently.
* more sharing of PCH tests between GCC and Clang
There's e.g. no need to do all kinds of complex tests with both
.gch and .pch with Clang, except for checking that Clang finds
one of them if none is specified explicitly.
* log also when pch usage is detect from pragma pch_preprocess
* try harder to verify in tests that ccache detects PCH changes
Some of the tests did that, e.g. those 'file changed', but e.g. the cached
.gch creation did not. So try to intentionally change the .gch/.h and test
that it leads to a cache miss. Otherwise there might be a hit simply
because ccache failed to detect PCH usage and ignores the .gch completely.
* clean up #include vs -fpch-preprocess in pch tests
As the manpage says, -fpch-preprocess is needed only with the #include
form, otherwise it's pointless.
* do not mention sloppiness in pch tests, only no sloppiness
Since sloppiness is normally required, so no point in stating the obvious.
* test also -include-pch with clang
* hash also pch introduced only using -include
GCC does not output the pch in the .d dependencies file, so without
this there would be false cache hits.
* be consistent about sloppiness in pch tests
create pch -> pch_defines
use pch -> time_macros
* test CCACHE_PCH_EXTSUM more thoroughly and also with -include
* pch test for .gch file being in an extra directory
* doc corrections for how to use PCH with ccache
- ccache will fail to properly detect that -include a.h means using
a.h.gch if it requires using path from -I (they are not searched)
- -fpch-preprocess does nothing with Clang, it doesn't output
pragma GCC pch_preprocess and so #include form for PCHs doesn't work
