[cfe-dev] Question about clang distcc

[Lyu Mitnick]

Hello Douglas,

I have read all posted carefully. According to the discussion, what we
can do better than
original distcc are as follows:

1) The intermediate files passed over the network would be serialized AST
2) The intermediate files passed over the network would be LLVM IR
3) Centralized admin daemon
4) Use PCH

To improve the issues above. We can extend the original distcc.
However Chris Lattner
mentioned the first mile-stone of clang distributed build project is
re-implementing a new
distcc.

I am wondering to know why and what is the desired design of clang
distributed build
project for cfe community.
