Why doesn't Bazel offer more out of the box?
I keep trying to use basil but always hit the wall that so little is offered out of the box.
To give an example I've seen a dozen different repos implement their own clang-tidy or clang-format.
Each seems to have only partially complete implementations or self admitted "hacks".
- HelloNurse 4y agoOut of the box, a build tool should offer special support only for complex tools that need "magic", such as C compilers. Generic support for assembling command lines from sets of files is more than enough to run clang-tidy or clang-format.
- setheron 4y agoIt's more complicated because these clang tools need a compilation database.
