In daemon mode the -cc1depscan client opened the CAS a second time, after the daemon had already done the scan, only to run parseID() on the root ID string the daemon sent back. The resulting CASID was used for nothing but -dump-depscan-tree, which prints it as a string again. Opening the on-disk CAS is expensive on Windows - about 1.3 ms per compile, 2.6 ms per cache hit with eight parallel clients.

Keep the root ID as a std::string in the client, so it no longer opens the CAS in daemon mode at all.
The compile parses the same ID from -fcas-include-tree.

How do I add reviewers?

This PR will be automatically labeled, and the relevant teams will be notified. For some parts of the project, reviewers may also be added automatically.

You can also add reviewers manually using the Reviewers section on this page. If you cannot use that section, it is probably because you do not have write permissions for the repository. In that case, you can request a review by tagging reviewers in a comment using @ followed by their GitHub username.

Are any special GitHub settings required to contribute to LLVM?

We only require contributors to have a public email address associated with their GitHub commits, see this section of LLVM Developer Policy for details.

In daemon mode the -cc1depscan client opened the CAS a second time,
after the daemon had already done the scan, only to run parseID() on
the root ID string the daemon sent back. The resulting CASID was used
for nothing but -dump-depscan-tree, which prints it as a string again.

the CAS in daemon mode at all.
The compile parses the same ID from -fcas-include-tree.
