Make SymlinkForest simpler and more efficient (Second try) Bazel rebuilds the symlink tree under the execution root before every build to ensure source files from main repo and external repos are available and up to date. But the SymlinkForest has accumulated many legacy behaviors that is currently not necessary and inefficient. This change tries to simplify the logic and make it much more faster. The main improvement is that instead of linking every file and dir under the top-level directory for every external repo, we only create a link to the top-level directory of the external repo. This will reduce a large amount of symlink create operations, which speeds up the preparing phase a lot on Windows. Fixes: https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/8545 RELNOTES: paths under the execution root starting with "." or "_" will be re-linked across builds PiperOrigin-RevId: 253985611
{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.
