Pete Bacon Darwin 0c2ed4c3e5 fix(ngcc): do not use cached file-system (#36687)
The cached file-system was implemented to speed up ngcc
processing, but in reality most files are not accessed many times
and there is no noticeable degradation in speed by removing it.

Benchmarking `ngcc -l debug` for AIO on a local machine
gave a range of 196-236 seconds with the cache and 197-224
seconds without the cache.

Moreover, when running in parallel mode, ngcc has a separate
file cache for each process. This results in excess memory usage.
Notably the master process, which only does analysis of entry-points
holds on to up to 500Mb for AIO when using the cache compared to
only around 30Mb when not using the cache.

Finally, the file-system cache being incorrectly primed with file
contents before being processed has been the cause of a number
of bugs. For example https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/issues/16860#issuecomment-614694269.

Angular Compatibility Compiler (ngcc)

This compiler will convert node_modules compiled with ngc, into node_modules which appear to have been compiled with ngtsc.

This conversion will allow such "legacy" packages to be used by the Ivy rendering engine.

Building

The project is built using Bazel:

yarn bazel build //packages/compiler-cli/ngcc

Unit Testing

The unit tests are built and run using Bazel:

yarn bazel test //packages/compiler-cli/ngcc/test

Integration Testing

There are tests that check the behavior of the overall executable:

yarn bazel test //packages/compiler-cli/ngcc/test:integration
