PROFILE
Benji Vos
During a two-month period, Ben Vos worked on the bazelbuild/bazel repository, focusing on improving macOS build reliability and debugging workflows. He developed a feature that ensures Bazel actions on macOS honor the DEVELOPER_DIR environment variable over the --xcode_version flag, propagating this setting to xcrun for accurate SDKROOT queries. This approach, implemented using Starlark and C++, aligns Bazel’s behavior with Apple’s documentation and reduces environment-related build inconsistencies. Additionally, Ben added support for dSYM generation for cc_binary targets, exposing linker variables to streamline symbolication and crash reporting. His work demonstrated depth in build systems, Xcode integration, and environment management.
