[distcc] Little or no compilation at localhost

[Donohue, Michael]

I don't know how many times I've read that code, and every time I thought it was just returning a success code, and then just this evening I noticed that it calls dcc_parse_multiplier for the return value.   So my concerns are unfounded.   I hope I didn't confuse anyone.

I believe the code special-cases the text "localhost"  Try "127.0.0.1" instead, to see if a higher slot count gives better results.

The localhost parser sets the slots to 2, and it disregards the slots specified:

static int dcc_parse_localhost(struct dcc_hostdef *hostdef,
                               const char * token_start)
{
    const char *token = token_start + strlen("localhost");

    hostdef->mode = DCC_MODE_LOCAL;
    hostdef->hostname = strdup("localhost");

    /* Run only two tasks on localhost by default.
     *
     * It might be nice to run more if there are more CPUs, but determining
     * the number of CPUs on Linux is a bit expensive since it requires
     * examining mtab and /proc/stat.  Anyone lucky enough to have a >2 CPU
     * machine can specify a number in the host list.
     */
    hostdef->n_slots = 2;

    return dcc_parse_multiplier(&token, hostdef);
}

I tried with /8 without any change to the result.

It is attached in the e-mail send to Martin Pool, to avoid posting a
binary to the list (and the unziped file is almost 1 MB).
