Bazel client: reduce dependency on POSIX API We can now compile blaze_util_windows.cc with MSVC, yay! (when building //src:bazel --cpu=x64_windows_msvc -k). There are a lot of #ifdef's and TODOs so this is a modest victory for now. In this change: - change blaze::MakeDirectories to return bool instead of int, since that's how it was used anyway, and to expect the permission mask as unsigned int instead of mode_t, since the former is good enough and compatible with mode_t on POSIX while mode_t is not defined on Windows - move blaze::MakeDirectories into blaze_util_<platform> - implement envvar-handling in blaze_util_<platform> and use it everywhere See https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/2107 -- MOS_MIGRATED_REVID=139887503
{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.
