To date, binaries are stripped by default when building with Bazel. We skip stripping for release binaries (via
-c opt
) and if you're building with thedev
configuration (many developers use this configuration asdev doctor
guides you to). This has led to some confusion as these mechanisms are non-obvious, leading some to wonder why their binaries are (or are not) stripped. We simplify this by never stripping. Since release binaries are not stripped, they are unaffected by this change. Only developers building without thedev
config and CI jobs that don't set-c opt
would be affected.Epic: CRDB-17171
Release note: None
