modular_cc_toolchains

This is an experimental API for a more modular Bazel toolchain.

NOTE: Expect breaking change.

Goals

A good rundown of why this repository exists is described in the modular cc toolchains proposal.

The end goal will be to merge this into the rules_cc repository. We think that we can implement the suggested changes without needing to make any breaking changes. To enforce this we are using a repository structure that mirrors the structure of rules_cc rather than using a fork. By keeping the structure of the repository similar to rules_cc we can overlay/merge it into rules_cc with minimal effort.

Contributing

Review/issues are welcome, we'd like to keep contributors to a select small team while we get started. For those, on that team please keep the following in mind;

• Use conventional commits so that we can make a nice pretty changelog :)
• Keep the CI in the green as much as possible. This will be enforced soon.
