[ccache] [PATCH] [RFC] do not rely on pids being unique

Mike Frysinger vapier at gentoo.org
Sat Oct 18 00:05:10 MDT 2014


Linux supports creating pid namespaces cheaply and running processes
inside of them.  When you try to share a single cache among multiple
such runs, the fact that the code relies on pid numbers as globally
unique values quickly fails.  Instead, switch to standard mkstemp to
generate temp files for us.
