Automated g4 rollback of commit 3e5edafa2a04a71cd3596e929e83222da725f3f9.

*** Reason for rollback ***

Likely cause for b/38172480 ("blaze now waits for all processes spawned by local tests to terminate") and b/38194553 ("Server terminated abruptly (error code: 14, error message: 'Endpoint read failed'").

I have a fix almost ready, but it consists of many lines of new code - we shouldn't rush that into Bazel's 0.5.0 release. Instead, let's roll this back, do a release using the known good older process-wrapper and then go forward in 0.5.1 with a better and well tested new version of this.

*** Original change description ***

process-wrapper: Wait for all (grand)children before exiting.

This uses Linux's PR_SET_CHILD_SUBREAPER and FreeBSD's PROC_REAP_ACQUIRE features to become an init-like process for all (grand)children spawned by process-wrapper, which allows us to a) kill them reliably and then b) wait for them reliably. Before this change, we only killed the main child, waited for it, then fired off a kill -9 on the process group, without waiting for it. This led to a race condition where Bazel would try to use...

Bazel (Beta)

{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.
