[FR]: Add C++ #101

Closed alexeagle closed 2 months ago

alexeagle commented 2 months ago

What is the current behavior?

Missing from the options in aspect init

Describe the feature

Should include a hermetic toolchain (perhaps bazel-contrib/toolchains_llvm)
Include some docs about how to add C++ libraries from the BCR
clang-format wired up for formatting code
clang-tidy or whatever linters rules_lint has to offer
functional protobuf setup (would it build protoc from source??)

kylecordes commented 2 months ago

bazel-contrib/toolchains_llvm appears to be quite easy to bring in nowadays. Auto-generating things that way certainly presents a usage pattern closer to the ideal world than starting with the locally installed platform CC. Of course, there is always the trade-off between the idealized future state vs matching common current practice.

This repo is very much "ideal future state that we would be happy putting the Aspect brand on", which means it has to be a lot better than Bazel is today :)

Done in #116
