Description of the bug:

cc_libaray target won't be rebuilt when header files list in hdrs attr are modified.

Which category does this issue belong to?

C++/Objective-C Rules

What's the simplest, easiest way to reproduce this bug? Please provide a minimal example if possible.

Create a target with a c++ header file and a c++ source file:

cc_library(
    name = "my_lib",
    hdrs = ["my_lib.hpp"],
)

cc_binary(
    name = "main",
    srcs = ["main.cpp"],
    deps = ["my_lib"]
)

my_lib.hpp content:

#include <string>

struct MyLib {
  std::string value = "my_lib";
};

main.cpp content:

#include <iostream>
#include "my_lib.hpp"

int main(){
  MyLib obj;
  std::cout << obj.value << std::endl;
  return 0;
}

Run bazel run my_lib. and modify my_lib.hpp to set default value of MyLib::value to another string (do not modify the main.cpp), run bazel run my_lib again. We will get a same output as
the target will not be rebuilt.

Which operating system are you running Bazel on?

Windows

What is the output of bazel info release?

6.3.2

Note that I test all release version from 6.1.1 to 6.3.2, This bug exists in version 6.2.0 and later versions, but 6.1.1 ~ 6.1.2 works well.
