`Sym_link`

Builds which reroute bazel output cannot be generated for, request to add support for this

Output

compile_commands.json is always placed in the TLD. Ideally, we should be able to configure where this artifact is placed.

Hi, I'm new to bazel and I'm having problems that leads me to this issue. With build --symlink_prefix=build/bazel- in my .bazelrc I get the following error:

>>> //bazel-out is missing. Please remove --symlink_prefix and --experimental_convenience_symlinks, so the workspace mirrors the compilation environment.

Am I understanding it correctly that this issue seeks to fix this problem/limitation, making it so that the symlink directories can be put elsewhere?
