The official ccache documentation[1] recommends to set
`CMAKE_C(XX)_COMPILER_LAUNCHER` to ccache to enable ccache.
These also work as envionment variables (supported by CMake itself).
However, using these instructions generates the following error during
building:
ccache: error: Recursive invocation (the name of the ccache binary must be "ccache")
This is because Dolphin adds an additional command ccache layer (ccache
ccache compiler ...).
This fixes that issue by checking for `CMAKE_C(XX)_COMPILER_LAUNCHER`
before inserting our own. Also, use `CMAKE_C(XX)_COMPILER_LAUNCHER`
to add ccache because the CMake docs discourages the use of
`RULE_LAUNCH_COMPILE` in favour of `CMAKE_C(XX)_COMPILER_LAUNCHER`.

We currently have 32 different binaries containing unit tests. At least
when I build for Android, each one takes up over 200 MiB, and linking
them all increases my incremental build times by over a minute. I'd
like to change this for the sake of my productivity and disk space.
For reference, MSBuild is already putting all tests in a single binary.
This lets us reduce the number of USE_RETRO_ACHIEVEMENTS ifdefs in the
code base, reducing visual clutter. In particular, needing an ifdef for
each call to IsHardcodeModeActive was annoying to me. This also reduces
the risk that someone writes code that accidentally fails to compile
with USE_RETRO_ACHIEVEMENTS disabled.
We could cut down on ifdefs even further by making HardcodeWarningWidget
always exist, but that would result in non-trivial code ending up in the
binary even with USE_RETRO_ACHIEVEMENTS disabled, so I'm leaving it out
of this PR. It's not a lot of code though, so I might end up revisiting
it at some point.
Right now, we assign a versionCode to each Android build of Dolphin by
counting the total number of git commits made. This has worked fine so
far, but it won't work as-is for the new release process.
Let's say we're currently on commit 20000. If we want to create a
release under the new release process, we would create a release branch,
add a new commit on it that updates the release name in CMake files and
so on, and create a tag for that commit. The Android build of this
release commit would get the version code 20001. However, the master
branch is also going to get a commit with the version code 20001 sooner
or later, and this commit would be an entirely different commit than
commit 20001 on the release branch. This isn't much of a problem for
people downloading Dolphin from dolphin-emu.org, but it's a big problem
for Google Play, as Google Play doesn't allow us to upload two builds
with the same version code.
This commit makes us calculate the Android version code in a new way:
The number of commits times two, and if the current build isn't a
release build, plus 1. (We check whether the current build is a release
build by checking whether there's a tag for the current commit.)
With this new version code scheme, the release commit described in my
example would get the version code 40002, and the master commit would
get the version code 40003. This lets us upload both corresponding
builds to Google Play, and also lets the user switch from the release
build to the development build if they would like to. (Under normal
circumstances, Android forbids installing a build with an older version
code than the currently installed build. Therefore, whether the 1 is
added for release builds or for development builds is a decision with
consequences.)
