Android build system has Soong and Kati where:
.bp
file to .ninja
files.mk
files to .ninja
filesWhen profiling the AOSP build time with soong_ui, I saw these translation processes occurred sequentially which I don't think is necessary? - Is that possible to make the two translation process run in parallel?
Cited from here:
turns out it's not always feasible to run Soong and Kati in parallel at least at the current stage with Android 10. The reason being a .mk file can depend on a .bp file so Soong has to translate those dependency .bp first before Kati can translate all .mk files to generate build rules.
