This essentially reverts bazelbuild/bazel#23337 now that the toolchain configuration has been moved here. clang-cl does support assembly just like other clang variants and unlike MASM supports assembly using native AT&T syntax as with regular clang. MSVC-style assembly requires using MASM, which continues to be available in the MSVC toolchain. This has previously been discussed in bazelbuild/bazel#24152 and reverted for Bazel 7.4.1 in bazelbuild/bazel#24211. Ideally, we'd want to have some mechanism to make assembler selection configurable and support several kinds of asm syntax in the future. |

C++ rules for Bazel
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.
For the list of C++ rules, see the Bazel documentation.
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/refs/tags/<VERSION>.tar.gz"],
sha256 = "...",
)
Then, in your BUILD
files, import and use the rules:
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:
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, tracking issue).
TLDR:
bazel run @rules_cc//tools/migration:legacy_fields_migrator -- \
--input=my_toolchain/CROSSTOOL \
--inline
Contributing
Bazel and rules_cc
are the work of many contributors. We appreciate your help!

use the GitHub issue tracker for bug reports and feature requests only.
