# C++ rules for Bazel
* Postsubmit [![Build status](https://badge.buildkite.com/f03592ae2d7d25a2abc2a2ba776e704823fa17fd3e061f5103.svg?branch=main)](https://buildkite.com/bazel/rules-cc)
* Postsubmit + Current Bazel Incompatible flags [![Build status](https://badge.buildkite.com/5ba709cc33e5855078a1f8570adcf8e0a78ea93591bc0b4e81.svg?branch=master)](https://buildkite.com/bazel/rules-cc-plus-bazelisk-migrate)
This repository contains a Starlark implementation of C++ rules in Bazel.
The rules are being incrementally converted from their native implementations in the [Bazel source tree](https://source.bazel.build/bazel/+/master:src/main/java/com/google/devtools/build/lib/rules/cpp/).
For the list of C++ rules, see the Bazel
[documentation](https://docs.bazel.build/versions/main/be/overview.html).
# Getting Started
There is no need to use rules from this repository just yet. If you want to use
`rules_cc` anyway, add the following to your `WORKSPACE` file:
```starlark
load("@bazel_tools//tools/build_defs/repo:http.bzl", "http_archive")
http_archive(
name = "rules_cc",
urls = ["https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_cc/archive/refs/tags/<VERSION>.tar.gz"],
sha256 = "...",
)
```
Then, in your `BUILD` files, import and use the rules:
```starlark
load("@rules_cc//cc:defs.bzl", "cc_library")
cc_library(
...
)
```
# Using the rules_cc toolchain
This repo contains an auto-detecting toolchain that expects to find tools installed on your host machine.
This is non-hermetic, and may have varying behaviors depending on the versions of tools found.
There are third-party contributed hermetic toolchains you may want to investigate:
- LLVM: <https://github.com/bazel-contrib/toolchains_llvm>
- GCC (Linux only): <https://github.com/f0rmiga/gcc-toolchain>
- zig cc: <https://github.com/uber/hermetic_cc_toolchain>
If you'd like to use the cc toolchain defined in this repo, add this to
your WORKSPACE after you include rules_cc:
```bzl
load("@rules_cc//cc:repositories.bzl", "rules_cc_dependencies", "rules_cc_toolchains")
rules_cc_dependencies()
rules_cc_toolchains()
```
# Migration Tools
This repository also contains migration tools that can be used to migrate your
project for Bazel incompatible changes.
## Legacy fields migrator
Script that migrates legacy crosstool fields into features
([incompatible flag](https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/6861),
[tracking issue](https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/5883)).
TLDR:
```
bazel run @rules_cc//tools/migration:legacy_fields_migrator -- \
--input=my_toolchain/CROSSTOOL \
--inline
```
