"""Sample Starlark definition defining a C++ toolchain's behavior.

When you build a cc_* rule, this logic defines what programs run for what
build steps (e.g. compile / link / archive) and how their command lines are
structured.

This is a proof-of-concept simple implementation. It doesn't construct fancy
command lines and uses mock shell scripts to compile and link
("sample_compiler" and "sample_linker"). See
https://docs.bazel.build/versions/main/cc-toolchain-config-reference.html and
https://docs.bazel.build/versions/main/tutorial/cc-toolchain-config.html for
advanced usage.
