Cache repeated C++ compilation with ccache and reuse the LAMMPS source in CI. Merge current master to retain its PyTorch C++20 build support.

The Read the Docs build also timed out during Sphinx execution (build 35462613); local diagnosis reproduced stalled external inventory requests. Set a 30-second connection/read-inactivity timeout so Sphinx can warn and continue when a host stops responding. This is not a deadline for a complete inventory download or the entire build.

Validation:

• Fresh TensorFlow/PyTorch CPU native build and five focused tests passed.
• Full Sphinx HTML build completed successfully with matching TensorFlow native operators: 1,760 pages. The build reported documentation warnings; warnings are not configured as errors in Read the Docs.
• Ruff, formatting, whitespace checks, and commit hooks passed.

Current follow-up validation

The selector regressions now isolate inherited configure flags, run on the GNU/Linux wrapper's supported platform, and check both selector transitions in a reused CMake directory. All three tests pass with real Bash and CMake 4.4.4.

Commit 742f133 also corrects the test class's LAMMPS capitalization. The actual repository disallow-caps pre-commit hook now passes locally, along with Ruff and formatting. The new hosted CI run must complete independently of these targeted results.

Walkthrough

The C++ build workflow now caches LAMMPS source and ccache and uses ccache in both build variants. The install script selects a supplied LAMMPS source root or a stable version. Two TensorFlow files add device.h includes. The Sphinx configuration sets an intersphinx timeout.

Changes: Build cache integration

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Configure LAMMPS source and caches .github/workflows/build_cc.yml, source/install/build_cc.sh	The workflow configures LAMMPS and ccache settings, restores or clones the LAMMPS source, installs ccache after checksum verification, and restores ccache data. The install script passes LAMMPS_SOURCE_ROOT to CMake when set; otherwise, it uses stable_22Jul2025_update2.
Configure build variants .github/workflows/build_cc.yml	Both build variants disable precompiled headers and use ccache for compilation. The workflow reports ccache statistics after the steps.

TensorFlow device includes

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Add device includes source/api_cc/src/DataModifierTF.cc, source/api_cc/src/DeepTensorTF.cc	Both files include device.h in TensorFlow builds.

Sphinx intersphinx timeout

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Configure inventory request timeout doc/conf.py	The Sphinx configuration sets the intersphinx request timeout to 30 seconds and comments on external inventory requests and stalled hosts.

Explanation

The title "ci: cache C++ builds and LAMMPS source" matches the main change. The PR adds caching for the C++ build (ccache, per-variant namespaces, restored cache data) and caches the pinned LAMMPS source tree, which the workflow restores from cache or shallow-clones. It is concise, uses the conventional commit prefix, and avoids vague terms. The title does not mention the build script change or the DataModifierTF/DeepTensorTF include fixes, but those are secondary to the main objective.

Re-reviewed the new draft head. The new commits replace the previous FetchContent override with an explicit cached LAMMPS_SOURCE_ROOT path and teach source/install/build_cc.sh to use that source tree when provided; the fallback remains the existing pinned LAMMPS version. I checked the cache scoping, compiler-launcher wiring, generic build-script fallback, existing review thread, and exact-head CI. The old mutable ccache-action concern is now obsolete because ccache is downloaded directly with a fixed SHA256. Build C++ and Test CUDA are green on this head; the remaining exact-head workflows are still in progress. I found no new high-confidence correctness blocker. This PR remains draft, so no APPROVE/REQUEST_CHANGES disposition is submitted.

NEEDS HUMAN REVIEW: this PR is now ready for review, so I re-checked the same head against the complete two-file diff, repository guidance, existing review threads/discussion, and exact-head CI. The implementation still looks functionally sound: the cached LAMMPS source remains version-pinned, ccache is downloaded with a fixed SHA-256, compiler launchers are scoped by build variant, and build_cc.sh preserves the existing pinned-LAMMPS fallback.

I also evaluated the new CodeRabbit thread about pinning the two newly added actions/cache uses to commit SHAs. I am not duplicating that inline finding; the repository currently uses GitHub-owned actions by major-version tags elsewhere (including actions/cache@v6), so I do not consider this alone a high-confidence PR-specific blocker under the repository's present convention.

Exact-head Build C library, Build C++, Test Python, Test CUDA, CodeQL, and PyPI workflows are green. Test C++ is still in progress, so I am not issuing a final approval disposition yet. The executing account is also the PR author, so any eventual GitHub APPROVE will need an independent reviewer/account.

All exact-head CI has now completed successfully, including Test C++. The code review is otherwise ready for approval, but GitHub rejected the APPROVE submission because the executing account (njzjz-bot) is also the PR author (Review Can not approve your own pull request). No new blocker was found; an independent reviewer/account is required for the formal approval.

Exact-head CI is now complete: the remaining Test C++ matrix finished successfully, and the relevant Build C++, Build C library, Test Python, Test CUDA, CodeQL, and package/PyPI checks are green (with only expected skipped jobs). The previously reviewed two-file change still has no high-confidence functional or build-system blocker.

I attempted the final APPROVE, but GitHub rejected it because the executing account is also the PR author (Review Can not approve your own pull request). An independent reviewer/account is therefore required for the formal approval.

CI build-cache performance validation (2026-10-28)

Compared the wall-clock time of source/install/build_cc.sh on the latest successful master Build C++ workflow from 2026-10-27 with this PR's successful Build C++ workflow from 2026-10-28. For the PR, timing runs from the start of build_cc.sh to the subsequent ccache --show-stats step; for master, from build_cc.sh to the following file-existence check.

Build variant	master (uncached)	PR #6026 (warm cache)	Step speedup	Time reduction	PR ccache hits / cacheable
CPU	5m 23s	1m 37s	3.33x	69.9%	103/129 (79.84%)
CUDA 12	6m 59s	1m 17s	5.43x	81.6%	116/142 (81.69%)
ROCm	8m 16s	2m 07s	3.90x	74.3%	112/139 (80.58%)
Clang	4m 52s	2m 26s	2.00x	50.0%	99/125 (79.20%)

Cache evidence: all four PR jobs restored the pinned LAMMPS source cache (the clone step was skipped) and a prior per-variant ccache archive. All four Build C++ matrix jobs completed successfully.

Logs:

• master Build C++ run 40539992082: CPU, CUDA, ROCm, Clang.
• PR Build C++ run 40681694608: CPU, CUDA, ROCm, Clang.

Interpretation / limitation: these are observed build-step timings, not full-workflow speedups and not a controlled same-commit A/B test. The master and PR runs have different SHAs, dates, and potentially runner/toolchain conditions, so the entire delta should not be attributed exclusively to caching. However, the ~79–82% ccache hit rates and LAMMPS source cache hits directly confirm that the new reuse paths are working. A same-source cache-on/off benchmark would quantify isolated impact more precisely.

Reviewed commit 1cca091.

The cache configuration and verified ccache download are reasonable, but the new explicit LAMMPS source override has two reproducible build-script defects: a previously cached LAMMPS_VERSION takes precedence over the requested source, and a source path containing whitespace is split into multiple CMake arguments. Please address the two inline findings and add small argument/source-selection regressions.

Validation: I ran the exact build script with real Bash and CMake 3.28.3 against a minimal project containing the production LAMMPS source-selection block; only FetchContent's download operations were replaced with stand-ins. A fresh no-space override works, a reused build ignores it, and clearing only LAMMPS_VERSION restores it. A whitespace-containing path is truncated even in a fresh build. Workflow YAML/matrix/cache/launcher checks, shell syntax, changed Python lint and whitespace checks passed, and the ccache asset SHA-256 matches the official release.

These are reproducible configuration/argument-handling findings, not a claim that every clean CI run fails. I did not run the full native build, GPU validation, documentation build, hosted CI or cache-performance measurements.

[OutisLi]

Re-reviewed 742f133 against my previous review. Both requested fixes are addressed: the explicit LAMMPS source path is passed as one CMake argument, and selecting either source or version clears the mutually exclusive cached selector. The resulting control flow is straightforward and preserves the default version selection.

I ran all three wrapper regressions against the exact current script: they passed, including whitespace-containing paths and both transitions in a reused real CMake directory. The same regressions fail against the previously reviewed script. Changed-file Ruff, shell syntax, workflow YAML and whitespace checks passed. Current hosted build, C++/Python test and pre-commit checks were successful when inspected.

No remaining actionable blocker found. I did not rerun the full native build, GPU execution, documentation build or cache-performance measurements locally.
