The new Bazel platforms are a key element for many new features. However not all projects and rule sets are going to start using them at the same time and so a mechanism is needed to allow gradual migrate from the current approach (flags like --cpu and --crosstool_top) to the new one. This issue tracks the design and implementation of that mechanism.

I never mentioned the design here but it's been reviewed and is now in implementation: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Vg_tPgiZbSrvXcJ403vZVAGlsWhH9BUDrAxMOYnO0Ls

Allows an existing FragmentOptions to be the base for a new one which is distinguished by a set of flags provided through an option parser (for example from the command line or a file).

bazel-io pushed a commit that referenced this issue Mar 12, 2019
Checks whether an existing build options matches a set of flags provided through an option parser (for example from the command line or a file).

Step 2/N towards the platforms mapping functionality for #6426

RELNOTES: None.
PiperOrigin-RevId: 238085427

…ping.

Introduces a new SkyValue which stores the information obtained from a mapping file (parser yet to be written) and provides logic to transform a build configuration (key) based on that.

Step 3/N towards the platforms mapping functionality for #6426

RELNOTES: None.
PiperOrigin-RevId: 238298127
bazel-io pushed a commit that referenced this issue Mar 18, 2019
Introduces a new SkyFunction which reads a platform mapping file, parses its contents and produces a platform mapping sky value which can then be used to apply the mapping to configurations (in the form of BuildConfigurationValue.Key).

The file's location is obtained from the newly introduced flag --platform_mappings and defaults to //:platform_mappings.

Note that this logic is not in use anywhere yet because the key mapping has not been applied. This will follow in a future CL.

Step 4/N towards the platforms mapping functionality for #6426

RELNOTES: None.
PiperOrigin-RevId: 239043475
bazel-io pushed a commit that referenced this issue Mar 29, 2019
The original value for the target platform was set at the dawn of time when we didn't have auto-calculation for it yet. Now that we do the explicit setting interferes with platform mapping which assumes that the target platform value is empty unless the user explicitly requests otherwise.

This change introduces a new flag, --target_platform_fallsback which can be used to set the fallback in case there is no matching mapping. Because it uses the old defaults no behavioral change should be observed as long as no mappings exist.

Step 5/N towards the platforms mapping functionality for #6426

RELNOTES: None.
PiperOrigin-RevId: 241031610
bazel-io pushed a commit that referenced this issue Apr 22, 2019
With platform mappings about to be enabled we need to make sure that platforms are reset in any configuration transitions that write flags which may impact the platform. Otherwise a platform may be set before the transition that matches the old flags but platform mapping would not be triggered for the new flag values (because platform mapping only happens if no platform is set).

Step 6/N towards the platforms mapping functionality for #6426

RELNOTES: None.
PiperOrigin-RevId: 244696779
bazel-io pushed a commit that referenced this issue Apr 22, 2019
Applying platform mapping to all BuildConfigurationValue.Key instances. This will cause all configurations to apply the platform mapping before being loaded.

Step 7/N towards the platforms mapping functionality for #6426

RELNOTES: New platform_mappings ability to allow gradual flag to platforms/toolchains migration. See also #6426

Incompatible changes:

  - Flip --incompatible_windows_escape_jvm_flags to true. See
    bazelbuild#7486
  - Flip --incompatible_windows_style_arg_escaping to true.  See
    bazelbuild#7454
  - --incompatible_windows_escape_jvm_flags is enabled by default,
    and the flag no longer exists
  - `--incompatible_no_output_attr_default` is enabled by default.
  - --incompatible_depset_union is enabled by default.
  - Python rules now determine the Python runtime using toolchains
    rather than `--python_top` and `--python_path`, which are
    deprecated. See
    [bazelbuild#7899](bazelbuild#7899) for
    information on declaring Python toolchains and migrating your
    code. As a side-benefit, this addresses bazelbuild#4815 (incorrect
    interpreter version used) on non-Windows platforms. You can
    temporarily opt out of this change with
    `--incompatible_use_python_toolchains=false`.

    addresses bazelbuild#4815 (incorrect interpreter version used) on
    non-Windows platforms. You can temporarily opt out of this change
    with `--incompatible_use_python_toolchains=false`.

New features:

  - Windows, Python: the --incompatible_windows_escape_python_args
    flag (false by default) builds py_binary and py_test targets with
    correct command line argument escaping.
  - cquery supports --output=build

Important changes:

  - Allow debugging C++ features logic.
  - The --ios_multi_cpus, --watchos_cpus, --macos_cpus and tvos_cpus
    are now additive. This means that you can now split the
    --ios_multi_cpus=arm64,armv7 into --ios_multi_cpus=arm64 and
    --ios_multi_cpus=armv7.
  - Generated Go protobufs now depend on
    //net/proto2/go:proto_gendeps instead of //net/proto2/go:proto
  - Add new options --cs_fdo_instrument and --cs_profile to support
    LLVM's context-sensitive FDO (CSFDO).
  - Bazel C++ compile/link Starlark API. Can be used with
    experimental flag
    --experimental_cc_skylark_api_enabled_packages=<package_path>,<pac
    kage_path2>.
  - `cc_toolchain.static_runtime_lib` and
    `cc_toolchain.dynamic_runtime_lib` are now exposed to Starlark.
  - New flag `--incompatible_no_kwargs_in_build_files`. See
    bazelbuild#8021
  - struct.to_proto() converts dict into proto3 text message (map<,>).
  - Android resource conflicts will no longer be reported between a
    strong attr resource and a weak attr resource, if the weak attr
    does not have format specified.
  - Flag `--incompatible_static_name_resolution_in_build_files` is
    added. See bazelbuild#8022
  - Add --incompatible_objc_framework_cleanup to control whether to
    enable some objc framework cleanup that changes the API.
    Specifically, the cleanup changes the objc provider API
    pertaining to frameworks.  This change is expected to be
    transparent to most users unless they write their own Starlark
    rules to handle frameworks.  See
    bazelbuild#7594 for details.
  - Added --incompatible_remove_binary_profile to disable the old
    binary
    profiles. Instead use the JSON profile format:
    https://docs.bazel.build/versions/master/skylark/performance.html#
    json-profile
  - Introducing --execution_log_binary_file and
    --execution_log_json_file that output a stable sorted execution
    log. They will offer a stable replacement to
    --experimental_execution_log_file.
  - Flag `--incompatible_disallow_old_octal_notation` is added. See
    //github.com/bazelbuild/issues/8059
  - Removes the
    --incompatible_disable_genrule_cc_toolchain_dependency flag.
  - Android resource conflicts will no longer be reported between a
    strong attr resource and a weak attr resource, if the weak attr
    does not have format specified.
  - Incompatible flag
    `--incompatible_make_thinlto_command_lines_standalone` has been
    added. See bazelbuild#6791 for
    details.
  - objc_library does not support resource attributes any more.
    Please read bazelbuild#7594 for more info.
  - The `outputs` parameter of the `rule()` function is deprecated
    and attached to flag `--incompatible_no_rule_outputs_param`.
    Migrate rules to use `OutputGroupInfo` or `attr.output` instead.
    See bazelbuild#7977 for more info.
  - New platform_mappings ability to allow gradual flag to
    platforms/toolchains migration. See also
    bazelbuild#6426
  - Added support for compiling against fully qualified R classes
    from aar_import dependencies.
  - --tls_enabled flag is deprecated. Please provide 'grpcs' as a
    scheme in the URLs if TLS should be used for a remote connection.
  - Adds
    incompatible_disallow_rule_execution_platform_constraints_allowed,
     which
    disallows the use of the "execution_platform_constraints_allowed"
    attribute when defining new rules.
  - Flag `--incompatible_restrict_named_params` is added. See
    bazelbuild#8147 for details.
  - The glob function has a new argument `allow_empty`. When set to
    False, the glob fails when it doesn't match anything.
  - Adds the "disable_whole_archive_for_static_lib" feature to allow
    turning off legacy_whole_archive for individual targets.
  - C++ Starlark API for compilation and linking is no longer
    whitelisted
  - Update visibility advice in build-style
  - --incompatible_disable_objc_provider_resources is now enabled by
    default.
  - Fixed an issue where some `py_runtime`s were incompatible with
    using `--build_python_zip` (bazelbuild#5104).
  - The `outputs` parameter of the `rule()` function is deprecated
    and attached to flag `--incompatible_no_rule_outputs_param`.
    Migrate rules to use `OutputGroupInfo` or `attr.output` instead.
    See bazelbuild#7977 for more info.

    rules to handle frameworks.  See
    bazelbuild#7594 for details.
  - Added --incompatible_remove_binary_profile to disable the old
    binary
    profiles. Instead use the JSON profile format:
    https://docs.bazel.build/versions/master/skylark/performance.html#
    json-profile
  - Introducing --execution_log_binary_file and
    --execution_log_json_file that output a stable sorted execution
    log. They will offer a stable replacement to
    --experimental_execution_log_file.
  - Flag `--incompatible_disallow_old_octal_notation` is added. See
    //github.com/bazelbuild/issues/8059
  - Removes the
    --incompatible_disable_genrule_cc_toolchain_dependency flag.
  - Android resource conflicts will no longer be reported between a
    strong attr resource and a weak attr resource, if the weak attr
    does not have format specified.
  - Incompatible flag
    `--incompatible_make_thinlto_command_lines_standalone` has been
    added. See bazelbuild#6791 for
    details.
  - objc_library does not support resource attributes any more.
    Please read bazelbuild#7594 for more info.
  - The `outputs` parameter of the `rule()` function is deprecated
    and attached to flag `--incompatible_no_rule_outputs_param`.
    Migrate rules to use `OutputGroupInfo` or `attr.output` instead.
    See bazelbuild#7977 for more info.
  - New platform_mappings ability to allow gradual flag to
    platforms/toolchains migration. See also
    bazelbuild#6426
  - Added support for compiling against fully qualified R classes
    from aar_import dependencies.
  - --tls_enabled flag is deprecated. Please provide 'grpcs' as a
    scheme in the URLs if TLS should be used for a remote connection.
  - Adds
    incompatible_disallow_rule_execution_platform_constraints_allowed,
     which
    disallows the use of the "execution_platform_constraints_allowed"
    attribute when defining new rules.
  - Flag `--incompatible_restrict_named_params` is added. See
    bazelbuild#8147 for details.
  - The glob function has a new argument `allow_empty`. When set to
    False, the glob fails when it doesn't match anything.
  - Adds the "disable_whole_archive_for_static_lib" feature to allow
    turning off legacy_whole_archive for individual targets.
  - C++ Starlark API for compilation and linking is no longer
    whitelisted
  - Update visibility advice in build-style
  - --incompatible_disable_objc_provider_resources is now enabled by
    default.
  - Fixed an issue where some `py_runtime`s were incompatible with
    using `--build_python_zip` (bazelbuild#5104).
  - The `outputs` parameter of the `rule()` function is deprecated
    and attached to flag `--incompatible_no_rule_outputs_param`.
    Migrate rules to use `OutputGroupInfo` or `attr.output` instead.
    See bazelbuild#7977 for more info.

Incompatible changes:

  - Flip --incompatible_windows_escape_jvm_flags to true. See
    bazelbuild#7486
  - Flip --incompatible_windows_style_arg_escaping to true.  See
    bazelbuild#7454
  - --incompatible_windows_escape_jvm_flags is enabled by default,
    and the flag no longer exists
  - `--incompatible_no_output_attr_default` is enabled by default.
  - --incompatible_depset_union is enabled by default.
  - Python rules now determine the Python runtime using toolchains
    rather than `--python_top` and `--python_path`, which are
    deprecated. See
    [bazelbuild#7899](bazelbuild#7899) for
    information on declaring Python toolchains and migrating your
    code. As a side-benefit, this addresses bazelbuild#4815 (incorrect
    interpreter version used) on non-Windows platforms. You can
    temporarily opt out of this change with
    `--incompatible_use_python_toolchains=false`.

New features:

  - Windows, Python: the --incompatible_windows_escape_python_args
    flag (false by default) builds py_binary and py_test targets with
    correct command line argument escaping.
  - cquery supports --output=build

Important changes:

  - Allow debugging C++ features logic.
  - The --ios_multi_cpus, --watchos_cpus, --macos_cpus and tvos_cpus
    are now additive. This means that you can now split the
    --ios_multi_cpus=arm64,armv7 into --ios_multi_cpus=arm64 and
    --ios_multi_cpus=armv7.
  - Generated Go protobufs now depend on
    //net/proto2/go:proto_gendeps instead of //net/proto2/go:proto
  - Add new options --cs_fdo_instrument and --cs_profile to support
    LLVM's context-sensitive FDO (CSFDO).
  - Bazel C++ compile/link Starlark API. Can be used with
    experimental flag
    --experimental_cc_skylark_api_enabled_packages=<package_path>,<pac
    kage_path2>.
  - `cc_toolchain.static_runtime_lib` and
    `cc_toolchain.dynamic_runtime_lib` are now exposed to Starlark.
  - New flag `--incompatible_no_kwargs_in_build_files`. See
    bazelbuild#8021
  - struct.to_proto() converts dict into proto3 text message (map<,>).
  - Android resource conflicts will no longer be reported between a
    strong attr resource and a weak attr resource, if the weak attr
    does not have format specified.
  - Flag `--incompatible_static_name_resolution_in_build_files` is
    added. See bazelbuild#8022
  - Add --incompatible_objc_framework_cleanup to control whether to
    enable some objc framework cleanup that changes the API.
    Specifically, the cleanup changes the objc provider API
    pertaining to frameworks.  This change is expected to be
    transparent to most users unless they write their own Starlark

    With platform mappings about to be enabled we need to make sure that platforms are reset in any configuration transitions that write flags which may impact the platform. Otherwise a platform may be set before the transition that matches the old flags but platform mapping would not be triggered for the new flag values (because platform mapping only happens if no platform is set).

    Step 6/N towards the platforms mapping functionality for bazelbuild/bazel#6426

luca-digrazia pushed a commit to luca-digrazia/DatasetCommitsDiffSearch that referenced this issue Sep 4, 2022
    The original value for the target platform was set at the dawn of time when we didn't have auto-calculation for it yet. Now that we do the explicit setting interferes with platform mapping which assumes that the target platform value is empty unless the user explicitly requests otherwise.

    This change introduces a new flag, --target_platform_fallsback which can be used to set the fallback in case there is no matching mapping. Because it uses the old defaults no behavioral change should be observed as long as no mappings exist.

    Step 5/N towards the platforms mapping functionality for bazelbuild/bazel#6426

    RELNOTES: None.
    PiperOrigin-RevId: 241031610
luca-digrazia pushed a commit to luca-digrazia/DatasetCommitsDiffSearch that referenced this issue Sep 4, 2022
    Introduces a new SkyFunction which reads a platform mapping file, parses its contents and produces a platform mapping sky value which can then be used to apply the mapping to configurations (in the form of BuildConfigurationValue.Key).

    The file's location is obtained from the newly introduced flag --platform_mappings and defaults to //:platform_mappings.

    Note that this logic is not in use anywhere yet because the key mapping has not been applied. This will follow in a future CL.

…pping.

    Introduces a new SkyValue which stores the information obtained from a mapping file (parser yet to be written) and provides logic to transform a build configuration (key) based on that.
