When you use the —cache=  option eg —cache=~/.ldccache/  do you need to differentiate with distinct paths for release and debug-build object files, or does LDC just do the right thing somehow? I thought about making the path to the cache directory different for release and debug builds. I already keep the object files in different directories to prevent debug and release builds from overwriting each other.

No, you can use the same cache.

Yes it does. Any commandline flag that changes object file output results in a different cache entry.
