[ccache] Support for -fprofile-generate, -fprofile-use, -fprofile-arcs

[Justin Lebar]

+  if (output_to_real_object_first) {
+    if (copy_file(tmp_obj, cached_obj, enable_compression) != 0) {
+      cc_log("Failed to move %s to %s: %s", tmp_obj, cached_obj,
strerror(errno));
+      stats_update(STATS_ERROR);
+      failed();
+    }

Maybe you should hardlink, if CCACHE_HARDLINK is set.  Unless
copy_file already does that?

+  if (profile_use) {
+    /* Calculate gcda name */
+    char *gcda_name;
+    char *base_name;
+    output_to_real_object_first = true;
+    base_name = remove_extension(output_obj);
+    gcda_name = format("%s/%s.gcda", profile_dir, base_name);
+    cc_log("Adding profile data %s to our hash", gcda_name);
+    /* Add the gcda to our hash */
+    hash_delimiter(hash, "-fprofile-use");
+    hash_file(hash, gcda_name);

Could you add a comment saying that profile_dir is the cwd if
-fprofile-use doesn't have a parameter?  I initially thought it was
null (and that output_obj was an absolute path), and was confused as
to how this might work.

What happens if I specify -fprofile-use=dir1
-fbranch-probabilities=dir2?  I think ccache should bail and say it's
too hard in this and similar cases.

This looks good to me, for whatever that's worth.  :)
