Add a raw_allowlist_include_directories cc_toolchain top argument (#450)

Apple toolchain declaration in bazel are inherently non-hermetic from a bazel perspective, as they rely on the system's Xcode installation. As a result, apple_support currently make use of
cxx_builtin_include_directories to add known system directories, as seen in the toolchain declaration here:
https://github.com/bazelbuild/apple_support/blob/master/crosstool/osx_cc_configure.bzl#L136

This currently cannot be done in rules based toolchain, as the allowlist_include_directories argument in cc_args() requires a DirectoryInfo provider.

In this change, we're adding a new top-level
raw_allowlist_include_directories parameter to the cc_toolchain() macro and to the underlying cc_toolchain_config() rule. This parameter will act just like the existing one, but will accept raw strings that will be added directly to cxx_builtin_include_directories.

Fixes #242

Closes #450

C++ rules for Bazel

  • Postsubmit Build status

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

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:

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
