What Build Acceleration does

Build Acceleration helps reduce C/C++ compile and link times using ccache, sccache, distcc, unity builds, precompiled headers, split DWARF, and IWYU. Use it when builds are slow or you need to find the main bottleneck.

Build Acceleration is cataloged under DevOps on DirSkills. Build Acceleration comes from a repository tagged ai-agent-skills, build-systems, c-cpp-toolchain, compilers and cross-compilation.

README

Excerpt

Build Acceleration

Purpose

Guide agents through reducing C/C++ build times using caching (ccache/sccache), distributed compilation (distcc), unity/jumbo builds, precompiled headers, split-DWARF for faster linking, and include pruning with IWYU.

Triggers

"My C++ build is too slow — how do I speed it up?"
"How do I set up ccache / sccache?"
"How do precompiled headers work with CMake?"
"How do I set up distributed compilation with distcc?"
"How do I reduce link times with split-DWARF?"
"How do I find which headers are slowing down compilation?"

Workflow

1. Diagnose the bottleneck first
