bazel.cmake is a seamless submodule which aims to mimic the behavior of bazel to simplify the usability of CMake for any mainstream operating systems (Linux, Mac OS, Windows, Android, IOS).
When launching a large open source project, We found that not everyone can adapt to the tremendous higher-level mechanisms CMake offered. We borrow the abstracts from Bazel to make it easy for us to do so! Back to 2017, Bazel has not yet matured to support manycore accelerators and even the most popular operating system - Windows. Maybe it's better now, but CMake is still the most powerful building tool for C++. Last but not least, developers can leverage the elegant abstracts from this module to reach the fine-grained compilation and testing. So we will continue to support this project.
Preparation
If you create a new project, first add git submodule bazel.cmake into your project.
project_dir$ git submodule add --force https://github.com/gangliao/bazel.cmake
project_dir$ git submodule update --init --recursiveJust like our test directory, you need to integrate bazel.cmake module into
current project's CMakeLists.txt as follows:
# CMakeLists.txt
set(CMAKE_MODULE_PATH ${CMAKE_MODULE_PATH} ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/bazel.cmake/cmake)
include(bazel)Then, you can use the built-in bazel abstracts to compile your code and run it under any mainstream operating system!
Compile Your Code
To compile the following code, you can invoke cc_testing in CMakeLists.txt.
// bazel.cmake/test/c++/hello.cc
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
printf("Hello World!\n");
return 0;
}# bazel.cmake/test/c++/CMakeLists.txt
cc_testing(hello SRCS hello.cc)
# If gtest is being used in your code, please explicitly specify gtest in
# cc_testing(xxx SRCS xxx.cc DEPS gtest) so that all dependent libraries
# (libgtest.a and libgtest_main.a) could be linked.Then, issue the below commands to build an executable for Mac OS X or Linux.
project_dir$ mkdir build && cd build
project_dir/build$ cmake ..
project_dir/build$ make hello
# Build Output

[100%] Built target helloYou can verify all test cases in your project by env GTEST_COLOR=1 ctest -j4 or make tests.
project_dir/build$ env GTEST_COLOR=1 ctest
