<h5><code>linkdeps</code></h5>
<p>A text file containing the labels of those transitive dependencies of targets listed in
<code>deps</code> that did not contribute any object files to the static library, but do
provide at least one static, dynamic or interface library. The resulting static library
may require these libraries to be available at link time.</p>

<h5><code>linkopts</code></h5>
<p>A text file containing the user-provided <code>linkopts</code> of all transitive
dependencies of targets listed in <code>deps</code>.

<h4 id="cc_static_library_symbol_check">Duplicate symbols</h4>
<p>By default, the <code>cc_static_library</code> rule checks that the resulting static
library does not contain any duplicate symbols. If it does, the build fails with an error
message that lists the duplicate symbols and the object files containing them.</p>

<p>This check can be disabled per target or per package by setting
<code>features = ["-symbol_check"]</code> or globally via
<code>--features=-symbol_check</code>.</p>

<p>The auto-configured C++ toolchains shipped with Bazel support the
<code>symbol_check</code> feature on all platforms. Custom toolchains can add support for
it in one of two ways:</p>
<ul>
  <li>Implementing the <code>ACTION_NAMES.validate_static_library</code> action and
  enabling it with the <code>symbol_check</code> feature. The tool set in the action is
  invoked with two arguments, the static library to check for duplicate symbols and the
  path of a file that must be created if the check passes.</li>
  <li>Having the <code>symbol_check</code> feature add archiver flags that cause the
  action creating the static library to fail on duplicate symbols.</li>
</ul>
