Add a new concept of failure causes Not all possible reasons for failure are uniquely identified by a label. Therefore, add a new data type describing possible root causes of failures and use it. The new type is added in causes/*.java and coresponds to Haskell's one-line definition data Cause = LabelCause Label | ActionCause Path Label deriving Show With future clean up of other failure causes inadequately described by a label, we expect that type to be extended by new constructors (i.e., new classes implementing Cause). -- Change-Id: I6fec74c78cec6abb9c10e32743b05a792888fead Reviewed-on: https://bazel-review.googlesource.com/#/c/6617 MOS_MIGRATED_REVID=137156390
{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.
