Fixes google#1077
Bazel clients currently cannot build the benchmark library in Release
mode. This commit adds a new target ":benchmark_release" to enable this.
* Adds -lm linker flag for (Free|Open)BSD and uses github.com/bazelbuild/platforms for platform detection.
* Prefer selects.with_or to select the linkopts.
* @platforms appears to be implicitly available. @bazel_skylib would require updating every dependent repository.
* Re-enable platforms package.
* Add benchmark_main library with support for Bazel.
* fix newline at end of file
* Add CMake support for benchmark_main.
* Mention optionally using benchmark_main in README.
Note, bazel only supports MSVC on Windows, and not MinGW, so
linking against shlwapi.lib only needs to follow MSVC conventions.
git_repository() did not work in local testing, so is swapped for
http_archive(). The latter is also documented as the preferred way
to depend on an external library in bazel.
Having the copts set on a per-target level can lead to ODR violations
in some cases. Avoid this by ensuring the regex engine is picked
through compiler intrinsics in the header directly.
* Add myself to CONTRIBUTORS under the corp CLA for Stripe, Inc.
* Add support for building with Bazel.
Limitations compared to existing CMake rules:
* Defaults to using C++11 `<regex>`, with an override via Bazel flag
`--define` of `google_benchmark.have_regex`. The TravisCI config sets
the regex implementation to `posix` because it uses ancient compilers.
* Debug vs Opt mode can't be set per test. TravisCI runs all the tests
in debug mode to satisfy `diagnostics_test`, which depends on `CHECK`
being live.
* Set Bazel workspace name so other repos can refer to it by stable name.
This is recommended by the Bazel style guide to avoid each dependent
workspace defining its own name for the dependency.
