[FEATURE REQUEST] Retry failed build commands locally #574

Open baybal opened 3 years ago

baybal commented 3 years ago

As said in topic, it makes sense to retry failed commands locally to see if their failure was due to code itself, or the compiler.

would find this also really useful. I have to disable icecc in some yocto recipes due cc errors. Also I'm curious (I don't think so) if it distinguishes between some failure on the "client" contacting the remote iceccd (like remote has "disappeared" during an operation) vs a compile error. I had some failures also when some decent amount of nodes went away due network changes.

I believe the retry mechanism could differentiate on how many retries should be done remotely before a local fallback (if at all) should be done before the error being reported.
