Fixes #18683
Related: protocolbuffers/protobuf#20085
This change is a rework of #26005 to enable short virtual includes based on a cc feature, therefore we can limit the change to only MSVC compiler on Windows.
RELNOTES: If a cc toolchain feature named
shorten_virtual_includes
is enabled, virtual include header files are linked underbin/_virtual_includes/<hash of target path>
instead ofbin/<target package path>/_virtual_includes/<target name>
. This shortens the virtual include paths which is critical for mitigating long path issue with MSVC on Windows.Closes #26528.
