Reduce the measured development Make build from 66.25 seconds to 27.73 seconds, saving 38.52 seconds (about 58%).

Build time

	Before this PR	After this PR
Full development build	66.25 s	27.73 s

Measured with FLB_DEV=On on Linux x86_64, using an AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS (8 cores / 16 hardware threads), CMake 3.28 and GCC 13. Both runs used fresh Make build directories with warm source caches; configuration time is excluded. The original build used -j32; the final build used -j16, matching the machine's hardware-thread count. These are individual local measurements, not a guaranteed speedup on every runner.

Changes

• Enable CMake dependency optimization to remove unnecessary waits between static-library builds while preserving explicit and generated-file dependencies.
• Compile 149 core sources once and reuse their objects in the static and shared libraries.
• Preserve the system Kafka header include directory on the core object target.

Dependency optimization requires CMake 3.19 or newer and respects an explicit OFF setting. Windows and browser-Wasm keep their existing core compilation paths.

Validation

• 16 internal and 3 runtime CTest cases passed.
• 11 integration cases passed normally and under strict Valgrind, with zero reported memory errors.
• System librdkafka 2.3.0 builds passed with Clang and with C++ disabled; 4 focused internal tests and 6 Kafka integration cases passed, including strict Valgrind coverage.
• 3 AddressSanitizer CTest cases passed using a Ninja build.
• Static archive members and the shared library's exported symbol set match the baseline.
• Commit-prefix checks passed for the full PR range.

Execution was validated on Linux; Windows, macOS, browser-Wasm, and older CMake versions were not tested locally.

Verification commands

Focused internal and runtime checks:

ctest --test-dir /tmp/flb-build-profile-20261102/objects-final-j16 -R '^flb-it-(pack|config_map|plugin_alias|config_format.*|opentelemetry.*|multiline|lua|engine_dispatch|input_chunk.*|router.*|network_dns)$' -j8 --output-on-failure
ctest --test-dir /tmp/flb-build-profile-20261102/objects-final-j16 -R '^flb-rt-(in_http|out_stdout|filter_lua)$' -j1 --output-on-failure

The exact integration selection, from /tmp/fluent-bit-core-objects/tests/integration:

export FLUENT_BIT_BINARY=/tmp/flb-build-profile-20261102/objects-final-j16/bin/fluent-bit
cases=(
  scenarios/in_http/tests/test_in_http_001.py
  scenarios/out_stdout/tests/test_out_stdout_001.py
  scenarios/filter_lua/tests/test_filter_lua_001.py
)
selection='test_in_http_protocol_matrix or test_in_http_rejects_bad_json or test_out_stdout_default_format_emits_tagged_log_line or (test_lua_callbacks and modify3)'
.venv/bin/python -m pytest "${cases[@]}" -k "$selection" -q
.venv/bin/python run_tests.py --valgrind --valgrind-strict "${cases[@]}" -k "$selection" -q

AddressSanitizer checks:

cmake -S . -B /tmp/flb-build-profile-20261102/objects-asan -G Ninja -DFLB_DEV=On -DSANITIZE_ADDRESS=On -DFLB_CORO_STACK_SIZE=4194304
cmake --build /tmp/flb-build-profile-20261102/objects-asan --target flb-it-pack flb-it-config_map flb-it-plugin_alias -j16
ASAN_OPTIONS=detect_leaks=1 ctest --test-dir /tmp/flb-build-profile-20261102/objects-asan -R '^flb-it-(pack|config_map|plugin_alias)$' --output-on-failure

System Kafka's focused integration and strict Valgrind checks were run with:

bash /tmp/flb-pr12706-kafka/verify-kafka.sh

That script selects JSON, raw, message-key, dynamic-topic, MessagePack, and oversized-message cases from scenarios/out_kafka/tests/test_out_kafka_001.py, using the binary linked against system librdkafka 2.3.0. Both the normal pytest command and run_tests.py --valgrind --valgrind-strict passed all six cases.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Build Improvements
  • Builds may complete more efficiently by reusing compiled core components across library variants and optimizing dependency handling.
  • Existing platform-specific build behavior and generated-source ordering are retained.

Walkthrough

The CMake configuration sets a version-gated default for dependency optimization. Non-Windows, non-browser builds compile core sources into an object library and link those objects into the shared and static libraries.

Changes: CMake build changes

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Set dependency optimization default CMakeLists.txt	When CMake is version 3.19 or newer and CMAKE_OPTIMIZE_DEPENDENCIES is undefined, the configuration sets it to ON.
Build and link shared core objects src/CMakeLists.txt	For non-Windows, non-browser builds, CMake compiles core sources except flb_api.c into fluent-bit-core. The shared and static libraries link those objects and compile flb_api.c directly. The core compile dependencies exclude plugin archives, proxy plugin archives, and flb-http-server. Windows and browser builds retain the original source-list path.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Apply sanitizer link options only to linkable targets.

When a supported sanitizer is enabled, add_sanitizers(fluent-bit-core) reaches target_link_options() for the OBJECT_LIBRARY target fluent-bit-core. CMake does not provide a link step for OBJECT libraries, so this can fail during configuration or generation. Keep compile options on fluent-bit-core, and skip only its link options. The existing sanitizer calls for the consuming targets remain unchanged.
