I am looking for information on the limitations of the caching introduced in SonarCFamily 6.6 (cmp. C++ developers now benefit from more efficient analysis and deeper Core Guidelines coverage)
So far, I’ve only read that it does not support parallel scans.
At https://sonarcloud.io/documentation/analysis/languages/cfamily/#analysis-cache it says “each project should use its own path” - that’s a “should”, but is it really a “must” or would it be okay to use the same analysis cache path for different projects?
What about using the cache for scanning large pull requests (lots of changes). I am talking of at least 2 pull requests that are also being updated, being scanned intertwined (not in parallel), both of which are vastly different, each modifying the master branch’s code extensively (adding files, removing files, etc). Must I create a copy of the master cache prior to scanning the branches? Or is it okay to use the master branch cache for both and are there performance penalties?
What other limits are there? Or maybe: is there a detailed explanation on how the caching works (how are files indexed - name, date, checksum, branch, …?)
I am asking because I am running into the issue that subsequent analyses abort with <number> is not a valid line for pointer. File <filename> has <number less than first number> line(s) (see below). I am not able to properly reproduce it, but it basically prevents me from integrating SonarQube into my CI jobs as it takes almost half an hour to scan that particular project from scratch. Caching would help tremendously, though.
Any help is deeply appreciated, thank you!!
