bazel-zig-cc and llvm --------------------- bazel-zig-cc has a performance issue when compiling many files. This repository reproduces that. Steps to reproduce ------------------ llvm14: 10-11 seconds to compile 96 binaries on an 8-core machine: ``` $ bazel clean; bazel shutdown; bazel build --extra_toolchains=@llvm_toolchain//:cc-toolchain-x86_64-linux ... INFO: Starting clean (this may take a while). Consider using --async if the clean takes more than several minutes. Starting local Bazel server and connecting to it... INFO: Analyzed 96 targets (41 packages loaded, 1458 targets configured). INFO: Found 96 targets... INFO: Elapsed time: 10.725s, Critical Path: 0.66s INFO: 481 processes: 289 internal, 192 linux-sandbox. INFO: Build completed successfully, 481 total actions ``` zig cc: 3.5 minutes. Anecdotally when looking at `htop` looks like it does not parallelize at all: ``` $ bazel clean; bazel shutdown; bazel build --platforms=@zig_sdk//libc_aware/platform:linux_amd64_gnu.2.28 ... INFO: Starting clean (this may take a while). Consider using --async if the clean takes more than several minutes. Starting local Bazel server and connecting to it... INFO: Analyzed 96 targets (41 packages loaded, 14394 targets configured). INFO: Found 96 targets...
