[distcc] gcc's -x handling is complex

[Hinz, Daniel W]

I'm new to distcc and have not gotten things to work, yet. Running
distccmon-text I see:

 

 31028  Blocked

 31033  Blocked

 31037  Blocked

 31050  Blocked

 31285  Compile

 31290  Compile
localhost[1]

 31292  Compile
localhost[2]

 31336  Compile
localhost[3]

 

So, I turned on logging and found this line after all of my compile
invocations:

 

distcc[5070] (dcc_scan_args) gcc's -x handling is complex; running
locally

 

Sure enough, the person who wrote the script that invokes distcc (pump
mode) does include -x on the command line. The code base is a mixture of
c and c++, the with the switch set appropriately.

 

Are these two pieces of information related and what should I learn from
it?

 

Also, I have not found a definition of 'Blocked' in any of the
documentation I've found so far. What does that indicate?

 

Thanks,

Dan Hinz
