* Windows, tests: fix for native test wrapper
In this PR:
- Update `@bazel_skylib` to 0.8.0, which has a
Windows-compatible unittest.bzl
- Fix unittest-using tests. Correct usage of
`unittest.end(env)` is to return its value.
Result: //test:all now passes with Bazel 0.25.0rc3
and --incompatible_windows_native_test_wrapper
* Register Skylib toolchains
* rules_foreign_cc_dep registers unittest toolchains
* Address review comments
* Add bazel_skylib_workspace to WORKSPACE files
* Remove stale toolchain init code
- explicitly pass the values of these options to corresponding compilation/link flags lists; add them to the end of the lists of they are not already there
- please see the test in test/standard_cxx_flags_test
* Improve outputs handling: wrapper script in shell-abstract manner
- extract wrapper script creation into a separate function,
- simplify the script and log names, also output the wrapper script text,
- introduce more shell primitives
related to #204
* Correct review comments
If the user passes empty string for some cache entry, for instance,
CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE, then the corresponding computed value
(computed from the Bazel's build type or Bazel C/C++ toolchain)
should not be used.
I.e., user passes "CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE": "", and there will be no
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE in the cmake call.
Some configure scripts rely on being called from their parent directory (they call other files as if they are in the same directory). For this case, we should copy/symlink the contents of the directory under our build root, and run configure from there.
New attribute in configure_make rule: "configure_in_place".
Also, add documentation for configure_make.
* Register shell toolchain implementations in the correct order
so that the default implementation is the last
* Refactor shell toolchain to allow users register custom shell toolchains.
- define your own shell toolchain file(s) by copying @rules_foreign_cc//tools/build_defs/shell_toolchain/toolchains/impl:linux_commands.bzl,
and modifying the methods.
- create a mapping: a list of ToolchainMapping with the mappings between created file(s) and execution or/and target platform constraints.
- in the BUILD file of some package, call "register_mappings" macro from "@rules_foreign_cc//tools/build_defs/shell_toolchain/toolchains:defs.bzl", passing the mappings and toolchain_type_ = "@rules_foreign_cc//tools/build_defs/shell_toolchain/toolchains:shell_commands"
- in the WORKSPACE file of your main repository, when you initialize rules_foreign_cc, pass the mappings and the package, in which BUILD file you called "register_mappings" macro
* Correct typo
* Update README.md because of Bazel 0.22.0 release
- with Bazel 0.22.0, no flags are required to use rules_foreign_cc
- improve Bazel versions related information
- add link to "rules_foreign_cc take-aways"
* Correct headers in README
- with Bazel 0.22.0, no flags are required to use rules_foreign_cc
- improve Bazel versions related information
- add link to "rules_foreign_cc take-aways"
As Bazel 0.22.0 is broken for rules_foreign_cc on Windows, we do not want to run any tests with this version on CI. So we are selecting the list of tests to run according to recorded-in-workspace Bazel version.
But list of tests can not be empty! Instead, have a test that just prints the Bazel version.
* Extract shell fragments into a toolchain
Construct script in framework.bzl using special notation for calling
shell fragments, defining and referencing environment variables;
have the script converted from this special notation into a real script
(see README.md notes.)
The special notation is used to keep script construction in code still readable.
Tools scripts (cmake, ninja) were also converted.
* Fix reference to environment variables in examples
.. and reference it correctly $$var_name$$ so it is replaced further
* Review comments: documentation, explicitly mark functions from toolchain
- mark functions from shell toolchain as ##funname##, so that they
can not be mixed with usual shell functions
* Fix operating system name for windows in toolchain file
* Additional env vars for windows
* Correct cmake tool build
* Do not build ninja on Windows
* When run on Windows under msys, find utility from Window could "leak"...
into the script. Use heuristics to use /usr/bin/find if it exists.
Also, use pwd -W to get Windows-styled paths (for cmake)
* Extract cmake and ninja into a toolchain; provide defaults.
In the workspace-level rule registration function, default toolchain
implementations are registered for all platforms, which are calling
the cmake and ninja just by name, assuming they are preinstalled.
Also, the user can pass the custom toolchains in the initialization
function, they will be registered before the defaults.
* Do not run ninja build test for now without nested workspaces support
* Corrections after merge
* Always build ninja from sources for tests, correct initialization order
* Add example of using prebuilt artefact in the native tools toolchain.
* Review comments, have native_tool_toolchain#target, not label
+ improve documentation
* Correct ninja toolchain label
* Correct documentation in native_tools_toolchain.bzl
* Reorganize examples to be in a separate workspace
This will help to define native tools toolchains for examples
* Remove examples-related part from main WORKSPACE file
* Copy .bazelrc to the examples workspace.
* correction for Bazel HEAD compatibility
* Changes to run nested workspace tests from main workspace
* Improve the boost rule including user_options attribute.
Then --with-<library> parameter can be passed to build only that library
Modify examples to demonstrate how to use it.
However, building examples takes too long time, so do not include them into the tests.
* Add crosstool example; does not work with cmake rule yet
the code is taken from Bazel test data (bazel_toolchain_test_data)
* Make crosstool compilation of cmake_external + cc_binary work
To build example, cd examples/cmake_crosstool bazel build //:libhello_test
Changes:
1) Initially suggested in #124: put $EXT_BUILD_ROOT on path, so that relative paths can be resolved by CMake
2) Toolchain tools are references as relative paths, and they themselves refer to external repository with external/ prefix.
This will not work with CMake, as CMake also perform compiler tests and the build is performed in some temp directory.
We need to convert to absolute paths.
I did a trick with checking of $EXT_BUILD_ROOT is defined and then using it as a prefix.
3) I had to change the visibility of the cc-compiler-k8 toolchain to public
4) For CMake crosstool file, CMAKE_C_COMPILER, CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER, CMAKE_AR need to be absolute, so in cases when they are relative and not under external directory, force paths conversion
