* Clean up Windows config_settingsGravatar Yun Peng2018-01-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1.Deleted config_setting for --cpu=x64_windows_msys, because we don't build Bazel with MSYS gcc anymore. 2.Deleted config_setting for --cpu=x64_windows_msvc, because it uses exactly the same toolchain as --cpu=x64_windows, it'll be removed in the future. This change reduces the complexity of our BUILD files and make them less confusing. Change-Id: I939831a6861413b0f745fb1be98aacd4fb780e0a PiperOrigin-RevId: 181751853
* Enable switching def_parser's Windows target for remote executionGravatar Yun Peng2018-01-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | When --define EXECUTOR=remote is specified in bazel command, embedded tools 'def_parser' will be compiled remotely from source. Because def_parser itself is a cc_binary, if we want to compile it remotely, to avoid cycle dependency it cannot be a dependency of cc_toolchain. Therefore, we make it a dependency of cc rules.

* Bazel now can build dynamic library from cc_libraryGravatar Yun Peng2017-09-18
Working towards: https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/3311 When building dynamic library on Windows, Bazel builds an import library and a DLL. Bazel provides a feature called windows_export_all_symbols, if this feature is enabled(and no_windows_export_all_symbols is not) for a cc_library, then Bazel parses object files of that cc_library to generate a DEF file that will be used during linking time to export symbols from DLL. This feature can be specified at crosstool, package, target and command line level. A few differences from Unix platforms: 1. We don't build the shared library on Windows by default, users have to specifiy --output_groups=dynamic_library for building dynamic libraries. This output group is also available on other platforms. 2. By default, cc_test is dynamically linked on Unix, but it will be statically linked on Windows by default. (meaning the default value of linkstatic in cc_test is 1 on Windows, and 0 on other platforms) 3. For global data symbols, __declspec(dllimport) must still be used in source files. Remaining issues: 1. Extensions for import library and DLL are not correct yet. 2. DLLs are not guaranteed to be available during runtime yet. 3. Diamond problem If a cc_library A is specified as linkstatic=0, then no dynamic library will be built for it, so if another cc_library B depends on it, A will be statically linked into B, and if a cc_binary C depends on B, A will also be statically linked into C and B will be dynamically linked to C. This is wrong because A is duplicated in both B and C. It is essentially a diamond problem describled in C++ Transitive Library. (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-tv0_79zGyBoDmaP_pYWaBVUwHUteLpAs90_rUl-VY8/edit?usp=sharing) Hopefully, we can avoid this by using cc_shared_library rule in future.
