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.
