generate_export_header

Bazel Rule for Generating an export header file

This bazel rule tries to mimic the behavior of Cmake's GenerateExportHeader functionality in bazel.

Basic Usage:

Import the module

# MODULE.bazel

bazel_dep(name = "generate_export_header", version = "0.1.0")

Use the rule to generate a <label>_export.h file

# BUILD.bazel
load("@generate_export_header//:defs.bzl", "generate_export_header")
generate_export_header(
    name = "console_bridge",
)

This rule generates a console_bridge_export.h file with all the macros defined for the library CONSOLE_BRIDGE.

There are some options to override the file name and/or the macro prefixes for more fine grained control with header and library attributes respectively.

# BUILD.bazel
load("@generate_export_header//:defs.bzl", "generate_export_header")
generate_export_header(
    name = "console_bridge",
    library = "FOO",
    header = "foo_export.h",
)
