Bazel Build: 宏函数

Bazel提供了灵活的扩展机制，用于自定义宏函数。例如，

genrule(
    name = "logo_miniature",
    srcs = ["logo.png"],
    outs = ["small_logo.png"],
    cmd = "convert $< -resize 100x100 $@",
)

cc_binary(
    name = "my_app",
    srcs = ["my_app.cc"],
    data = [":logo_miniature"],
)

为了复用代码，可以应用「参数化」设计，提取公共的宏函数。

def miniature(name, src, size="100x100", **kwargs):
  """Create a miniature of the src image.

  The generated file is prefixed with 'small_'.
  """
  native.genrule(
    name = name,
    srcs = [src],
    outs = ["small_" + src],
    cmd = "convert $< -resize " + size + " $@",
    **kwargs
  )

为了应用新定义的宏函数，使用内置的load函数导入miniature函数，这个机制类似于Python的import行为。

load("//path/to:miniature.bzl", "miniature")

miniature(
    name = "logo_miniature",
    src = "image.png",
)

cc_binary(
    name = "my_app",
    srcs = ["my_app.cc"],
    data = [":logo_miniature"],
)
