Hi all.

Please see More accurate cquery: a proposal to make cquery output more clear and accurate by better handling aspects and toolchains.

Cheers,
Greg

On the surface, it seems reasonable. I have asked some questions on the doc that may result in significant changes, but not in a ground-up redesign.

The main question in my mind is when to do this. Looking at the OKR drafts, it looks like the Configurability team will have a busy quarter and I'd much rather get fewer tasks done than more tasks half-done.

Thanks Lukacs.

I'm interested in this as a side project when I need a break from prioritized work. It's been bugging people for a long time. It'd be nice to at least remove the current correctness problems, which is my primary motivation. And why I wouldn't want to get fancy with --output=build support and other extras: leave those to their own efforts and at least lift us up from the status quo (and extra support load from diagnosing bad queries).

Yeah, that makes total sense, a low-priority personal sanity enhancer project is very useful :)
