rules_ll

OpenSSF Best Practices OSSF-Scorecard Score

An upstream Clang/LLVM-based toolchain for contemporary C++ and heterogeneous programming.

This project interleaves Nix and Bazel with opinionated Starlark rules for C++.

Builds running within rules_ll-compatible workspaces achieve virtually perfect cache hit rates across machines, using C++ toolchains often several major versions ahead of most other remote execution setups.

The ll_* rules use a toolchain purpose-built around Clang/LLVM. You can't combine ll_* and cc_* targets at the moment, but you can still build cc_* projects in rules_ll-workspaces to leverage the remote execution setup and share caches.

✨ Setup

  1. Install the nix package manager and enable flakes.

  2. Create a rules_ll compatible workspace. To keep the development shell in sync with the rules_ll Bazel module, pin the flake to a specific version:

    git init
nix flake init -t github:eomii/rules_ll/<version>

    The default toolchains include C++ and HIP for AMDGPU. If you also want to target NVPTX devices (Nvidia GPUs), make sure to read the CUDA license and set unfree = true in flake.nix.

    See tags to find the most recent version.

  3. Enter the rules_ll development shell:

    nix develop

  4. Consider setting up at least a local remote cache as described in the remote execution guide.
