No need for such theory, as for all practical proposes, there is ccache doing exactly that (although with a bit of addition IO). As for finer granularity: With the practical reality of C/C++ with preprocessing, context sensitive syntax and commandline switches to influence the compile result there is little hope for such a thing existing _and_ be reasonably fast (read: orders of magnitude faster than just frigging compiling it).
