In ccache's cleanup.c module, the comments say that files are deleted
from the cache on a LRU basis. However, the code refers to mtime, not atime,
so it appears that ccache is, in reality, using a Least Recently *Modified*
basis upon which to expire files from the cache. Is that really what ccache
does? Or did I miss something? If it's really using LRM instead of LRU,
can anyone explain why?
I am not susbscribed to this list, so please be sure to copy me in
directly on any replies. Thanks in advance!
