cpp-tutorial still not working?

2

https://github.com/bazelbuild/examples/issues/198 was fixed but another error was described at https://github.com/bazelbuild/examples/issues/198#issuecomment-1133588794. TODO: diagnose. Is CI not working? Is this Windows-specific? Do we need C++ team or @bazelbuild/rules_cc input?

cquery: more precise results

### Description of the feature request: cquery only *implicitly* shows deps from aspects and toolchain resolution. For example, assume `//tt:parent` depends on `//tt:child` and that dependency adds "my_aspect" which has...

incompatible_enforce_config_setting_visibility

Visibility on `config_setting` isn't historically enforced. This is purely for legacy reasons. There's no philosophical reason to distinguish them. This flag starts the process of removing the distinction. Values: *...

incompatible_config_setting_private_default_visibility

Visibility on `config_setting` isn't historically enforced. This is purely for legacy reasons. There's no philosophical reason to distinguish them. This flag, in conjunction with `--incompatible_enforce_config_setting_visibility` (https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/12932), removes that distinction. Values:...

--incompatible_disable_starlark_host_transitions

#### Change: [--incompatible_disable_starlark_host_transitions](https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/blob/27f0f0f947a6f066b752f0212a19780706005c4e/src/main/java/com/google/devtools/build/lib/packages/semantics/BuildLanguageOptions.java#L624-L630) makes this Starlark syntax illegal: cfg = "host" Instead use: cfg = "exec" #### Rationale: Rules can't be configured for the *host* configuration, which is the machine...

Remove 'cfg.= "exec"` from license()'s license_kinds attribute when users use a new enough Bazel

1

katre@ is working on exec platform resolution improvements. As part of that we want to switch `license()` rules [from the exec configuration](https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/blob/1e5e75e401d6311371578e0fdf5dc47a9443b005/src/main/java/com/google/devtools/build/lib/analysis/BaseRuleClasses.java#L427) to a "no configuration". The only reason they...

Update https://bazel.build/concepts/platforms for Bazel 9

### Page link: https://bazel.build/concepts/platforms ### Problem description (include actual vs expected text, if applicable): "Migrating to platforms" doesn't reflect that platforms are now a Bazel standard. This should change from...

Starlarkify Python's build flags

2

As part of Starlarkification, we plan to move all Python-related build flags defined in Bazel core code into `rules_python`. This: - gives `rules_python` owners more complete control over Bazel's Python...

I think we're due for a new release. See [diffs](https://github.com/bazelbuild/platforms/compare/1.0.0...main). New functionality: - `package_metadata_` updates - `aix` constraint I suggest we also: - Review straightforward issues and PRs - Start...
