Do not re-compress during dev build. Instead of building the target //src:bazel use //src:bazel-dev. File I/O is much slower on Windows compared to Linux and the recompressing step was causing a multi-minute slowdown on Windows. This change should bring iteration times of simple changes for Bazel developers down to significantly less than a minute. RELNOTES: None Closes #8760. PiperOrigin-RevId: 255962558
{Fast, Correct} - Choose two
Build and test software of any size, quickly and reliably.
Speed up your builds and tests: Bazel only rebuilds what is necessary. With advanced local and distributed caching, optimized dependency analysis and parallel execution, you get fast and incremental builds.
One tool, multiple languages: Build and test Java, C++, Android, iOS, Go, and a wide variety of other language platforms. Bazel runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Scalable: Bazel helps you scale your organization, codebase, and continuous integration solution. It handles codebases of any size, in multiple repositories or a huge monorepo.
Extensible to your needs: Easily add support for new languages and platforms with Bazel's familiar extension language. Share and re-use language rules written by the growing Bazel community.
