Bazel Build System

Bazel, an open-source build and test tool, can output graphviz dependency graphs.

This graph is generated querying the source of Abseil, a C++ library, for all the ways Abseil's random number library depends on Abseil's string library. Using --output=graph outputs a Graphviz graph.

bazel query --output=graph --notool_deps 'allpaths(//absl/random, //absl/strings)' | dot -Tsvg > /tmp/deps.svg

See the Bazel query how-to for details.
