# Toolchain definitions.
#
# We currently define a single custom toolchain: the host_cc toolchain suite.
# This is a C++ toolchain that uses GCC from the host at hardcoded paths. We
# can get away with this, as currently the entire build is performed in a known
# container (see: //scripts:create_container.sh). We define this toolchain so
# that we have full control over all configuration of it, which we need as we
# are building some fairly odd C binaries (notably, a qboot bootloader for
# testing).
#
# The host_cc toolchain suite is enabled for all cc_* targets that aren't
# building host tools by setting --crosstool_top in .bazelrc. In the future,
# this should only be triggered by transitions where necessary.
#
# In the future, the host_cc toolchains should be replaced by a hermetic
# toolchain that's built locally, or downloaded from the Internet - as
# github.com/bazelbuild/bazel-toolchains does it. As that's being built, we
# should then also have another toolchain definition for C binaries that
# target Smalltown static binaries, so that mkfs.xfs can be built using native
# cc_* rules, too.
#
# This, and :cc_toolchain_config.bzl is based on the following tutorial:
# https://docs.bazel.build/versions/master/tutorial/cc-toolchain-config.html
