ccache

Avrea provides a remote storage endpoint for ccache. Compilation outputs are cached so that unchanged source files skip recompilation.

On Avrea runners

ccache is pre-configured:

CCACHE_REMOTE_STORAGE="http://avrea-host:8290/ccache-build/cas|layout=flat"
PATH="/usr/lib/ccache:$PATH"  # ccache compiler wrappers

With the ccache compiler wrappers on PATH, your workflow needs no changes:

workflow.yml

  build:
    runs-on: avrea-ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v6
      - run: mkdir build && cd build && cmake ..
      - run: make -j$(nproc)
      - run: ccache --show-stats
