In Buck, one might write:
exported_headers = subdir_glob([
("lib/source", "video/**/*.h"),
("lib/source", "audio/**/*.h"),
],
excludes = [
"lib/source/video/codecs/*.h",
],
prefix = "MediaLib/")
This line would make those headers available under MediaLib/. What would be the equivalent in Bazel?
I ended up writing a rule to do this. It provides something similar to the output of a filegroup, and could be combined with cc_library in a macro.
def _impl_flat_hdr_dir(ctx):
path = ctx.attr.include_path
d = ctx.actions.declare_directory(path)
dests = [ctx.actions.declare_file(path + "/" + h.basename)
for h in ctx.files.hdrs]
cmd = """
mkdir -p {path};
cp {hdrs} {path}/.
""".format(path=d.path, hdrs=" ".join([h.path for h in ctx.files.hdrs]))
ctx.actions.run_shell(
command = cmd,
inputs = ctx.files.hdrs,
outputs = dests + [d],
progress_message = "doing stuff!!!"
)
return struct(
files = depset(dests)
)
flat_hdr_dir = rule(
_impl_flat_hdr_dir,
attrs = {
"hdrs": attr.label_list(allow_files = True),
"include_path": attr.string(mandatory = True),
},
output_to_genfiles = True,
)
