C++ rules for Bazel

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.

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/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.
