| Rebuild strategy | Topological scheduler | Restarting scheduler | Suspending scheduler |
|---|---|---|---|
| dirty bit | make | excel | |
| verifying traces | ninja, docker | shake | |
| constructive traces | cloudbuild | bazel | cloud shake |
| deep constructive traces | buck | nix |
Some build systems don’t map cleanly to rebuild+scheduler. For example, even though docker is a verifying trace + topological scheduler, it only allows for a linear chain of dependnecies and so doesn’t really “have” a scheduler.
Other build systems that don’t fit the mold are Weird Build Systems
