Make Bazel Work in MacOS for Iceoryx2

In iceoryx2, it uses bazel to build C/C++ bindings. Hence, they want to use bazel for rust for a better unification in iceoryx2.

Currently foreign_cc is used to build the C binding and cc_library to build the C++ bindings. In order to fully exhaust the capabilities of bazel, the C binding and therefore the Rust code should be build with rules_rust.

When I tried it, I found it doesn't work in my MacOS. This blog records some knowledge when I learned bazel and how I solved the problem. It doesn't talk about why we use bazel in a rust project.

golang/tools: reduce jitter of packages.Load

In CL 614975, I have migrated deprecated loader from ssa package. However, miller has reported the tests became extremely slows. In an operation-system with a slow file system, such as plan9, the test slowed by more than 50x.

Oops, a un-intentional change:( I have submitted a CL to load 300+ packages by packages.Load once instead of loading them many. Alan thought it's a bravo change:)

Moreover, when I involved to investigate why the packages.Load slows so much, I have learned a lot. This blog records how I investigate them.

Iceoryx2 Lockfree Structures Benchmark

This page lists the benchmark results of the iceoryx2 lockfree structures. At the beginning, I hold the assumption that the lockfree structures are faster. However, that's not a true assumption. There is no significant differences between locked implementation and lockfree implementation in my test cases.

You can view my benchmark code here.
