Fix Bazel failing to build anything when its workspace or output base is in /tmp. Add "-b" option to linux-sandbox to explicitly bind mount files / directories into the sandbox. This is used to pull in the workspace and output base of Bazel even when they're located in /tmp and would thus be hidden by the tmpfs we mount on the /tmp directory in the sandbox. Add "-S" option to linux-sandbox to explicitly specify a temporary directory to be used to contain the sandbox. This can be created by Bazel and then removed more reliably, compared to the earlier behavior where the sandbox would create its own temporary root directory in /tmp/sandbox.XXXXXX (and fail to delete it in case it gets killed by a signal). Fix spurious empty.XXXXXX files and directories not being deleted from /tmp. -- MOS_MIGRATED_REVID=133695992
{Fast, Correct} - Choose two
Bazel is a build tool that builds code quickly and reliably. It is used to build the majority of Google‘s software, and thus it has been designed to handle build problems present in Google’s development environment, including:
A massive, shared code repository, in which all software is built from source. Bazel has been built for speed, using both caching and parallelism to achieve this. Bazel is critical to Google's ability to continue to scale its software development practices as the company grows.
An emphasis on automated testing and releases. Bazel has been built for correctness and reproducibility, meaning that a build performed on a continuous build machine or in a release pipeline will generate bitwise-identical outputs to those generated on a developer's machine.
Language and platform diversity. Bazel's architecture is general enough to support many different programming languages within Google, and can be used to build both client and server software targeting multiple architectures from the same underlying codebase.
