DependencyScanningFileSystemSharedCache can currently report out-of-date negatively stat cached paths. This PR enhances the reporting with two modifications.

  1. The reported path are now null terminated char arrays instead of StringRefs. This way the API's user can avoid copying StringRefs to other containers because the char arrays can be used directly.
  2. The API now reports out-of-date cache entry due to file size changes. Specifically, we check each file's cached size against the size of the same file on the underlying FS. If the sizes are different, diagnostics will be reported.

DependencyScanningFileSystemSharedCache can currently report invalid negative stat cached paths. This PR enhances the reporting with two modifications.

  1. The reported path are now null terminated char arrays instead of StringRefs. This way the API's user can avoid copying StringRefs to other containers because the char arrays can be used directly.
  2. The API now reports invalid cache entry due to file size changes. Specifically, we check each file's cached size against the size of the same file on the underlying FS. If the sizes are different, diagnostics will be reported.

LGTM with one nit suggestion. There seems to be a build failure in CI due to revert of @Bigcheese's commit, so that probably needs to be taken care of before merging. I'd also like to see the downstream PR before merging this one just so we know things integrate nicely with the C API.

Thanks!

Here is a commit that implements the C-APIs as a draft. It is intended to demonstrate how the C-API is implemented on top of this PR. Testing/documentations are missing and I will add them next.
