There was a problem hiding this comment.
The Starlark hash is not particularly collision resistant, even on non-adversarial inputs. What would happen if this collides?
This could be an argument for introducing a better hash function to Starkark.

Yeah, we had the same discussion when reviewing the previous PR internally. We should probably upgrade it, but in another change.

Fixes bazelbuild#18683 Related: protocolbuffers/protobuf#20085 This change is a rework of bazelbuild#26005 to enable short virtual includes based on a cc feature, therefore we can limit the change to only MSVC compiler on Windows. RELNOTES: If a cc toolchain feature named `shorten_virtual_includes` is enabled, virtual include header files are linked under `bin/_virtual_includes/<hash of target path>` instead of `bin/<target package path>/_virtual_includes/<target name>`. This shortens the virtual include paths which is critical for mitigating long path issue with MSVC on Windows. Closes bazelbuild#26528.

This change is a rework of #26005 to enable short virtual includes based on a cc feature, therefore we can limit the change to only MSVC compiler on Windows.
RELNOTES: If a cc toolchain feature named
shorten_virtual_includesis enabled, virtual include header files are linked underbin/_virtual_includes/<hash of target path>instead ofbin/<target package path>/_virtual_includes/<target name>. This shortens the virtual include paths which is critical for mitigating long path issue with MSVC on Windows.
