Re: [cs branch] how to start compile server?

[Per Bothner <per at bothner dot com>]

We haven't documented how to start the compile server, partly
because we're trying figure out the right way to do it!

This is how it currently works, for C.  (C++ doesn't work yet.)

Start and instance of cc1 directly, with command-line flags:

path-to-cc1/cc1 -fserver -Dfoo -Ibar -fetc &

This creates a Unix-domina socket ./.cc1-server.

For each file you want to compile, run gcc in the
normal way, with -server but without the other flags:

gcc --server -c foo.c

This creates foo.o

When done, you can kill the server:

gcc --kill-server

(or just kill the cc1 process and remove ./.cc1-server).
