# C++ rules for Bazel
[![Build status](https://badge.buildkite.com/f03592ae2d7d25a2abc2a2ba776e704823fa17fd3e061f5103.svg?branch=master)](https://buildkite.com/bazel/rules-cc)
This repository contains 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/master/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:
```
load("@bazel_tools//tools/build_defs/repo:http.bzl", "http_archive")
http_archive(
name = "rules_cc",
urls = ["https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_cc/archive/TODO"],
sha256 = "TODO",
)
```
Then, in your BUILD files, import and use the rules:
```
load("@rules_cc//cc:rules.bzl", "cc_library")
cc_library(
...
)
```
# 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
