Introduce a FileSystemCalls.getType() function that just returns the type of a
file in question. In quite a few places that is sufficient and we might be able
to get the result based on a previously existing readdir() or stat() request if
we have either of them cached.

While at it, re-use the PerBuildSysCall cache inside of FileStateFunction in
order to profit from this.

This can prevent a whole bunch of unnecessary stat() calls, especially for
whether or not a BUILD file is present and for creating the FileStateValue for
symlinks and directories (for regular files we still need to stat() in order to
get modification time information).

Bazel

{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.
