* Add rules to the test_deps target.
Likely needed for anyone doing integration tests using skylib.
* Default public visibility and only tag things that are private.
maprule() is an improved version of
native.genrule(), with the following advantages:
- Maprule can process source files in parallel,
creating separate actions for each of them.
- Maprule does not require declaring all output
files. Instead you declare templates for the
output files yielded for each source. Therefore
N source files and M templates yield N*M
outputs.
- Maprule supports both Bash and cmd.exe syntax
for its commands via the specialized rules
bash_maprule and cmd_maprule.
- Maprule's cmd attribute does deliberately not
support $(location) expression nor Make
Variables, in order to avoid issues and
challenges with quoting. (In case of cmd.exe
passing empty arguments is impossible). These
paths can be passed as envvars instead.
- Maprule's add_env attribute does support
$(location) expressions (and some extra
placeholders) and is the idiomatic way to pass
execpaths of labels in "tools" or "srcs" (the
shared sources available for all actions) to the
command.
