rust_toolchain

Declares a Rust toolchain for use.

This is for declaring a custom toolchain, eg. for configuring a particular version of rust or supporting a new platform.

Example:

Suppose the core rust team has ported the compiler to a new target CPU, called cpuX. This support can be used in Bazel by defining a new toolchain definition and declaration:

load('@rules_rust//rust:toolchain.bzl', 'rust_toolchain')

rust_toolchain(
    name = "rust_cpuX_impl",
    rustc = "@rust_cpuX//:rustc",
    rustc_lib = "@rust_cpuX//:rustc_lib",
    rust_std = "@rust_cpuX//:rust_std",
    rust_doc = "@rust_cpuX//:rustdoc",
    binary_ext = "",
    staticlib_ext = ".a",
    dylib_ext = ".so",
    stdlib_linkflags = ["-lpthread", "-ldl"],
    os = "linux",
)

toolchain(
    name = "rust_cpuX",
    exec_compatible_with = [
        "@platforms//cpu:cpuX",
    ],
    target_compatible_with = [
        "@platforms//cpu:cpuX",
    ],
    toolchain = ":rust_cpuX_impl",
)

Then, either add the label of the toolchain rule to register_toolchains in the WORKSPACE, or pass it to the "--extra_toolchains" flag for Bazel, and it will be used.

See @rules_rust//rust:repositories.bzl for examples of defining the @rust_cpuX repository with the actual binaries and libraries.

rust_toolchain_tools_repository

Composes a single workspace containing the toolchain components for compiling on a given platform to a series of target platforms.

A given instance of this rule should be accompanied by a toolchain_repository_proxy invocation to declare its toolchains to Bazel; the indirection allows separating toolchain selection from toolchain fetching.

rust_register_toolchains

Emits a default set of toolchains for Linux, MacOS, and Freebsd

Skip this macro and call the rust_repository_set macros directly if you need a compiler for other hosts or for additional target triples.

The sha256 attribute represents a dict associating tool subdirectories to sha256 hashes. As an example:

{
    "rust-1.46.0-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu": "e3b98bc3440fe92817881933f9564389eccb396f5f431f33d48b979fa2fbdcf5",
    "rustfmt-1.4.12-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu": "1894e76913303d66bf40885a601462844eec15fca9e76a6d13c390d7000d64b0",
    "rust-std-1.46.0-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu": "ac04aef80423f612c0079829b504902de27a6997214eb58ab0765d02f7ec1dbc",
}

This would match for exec_triple = "x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu". If not specified, rules_rust pulls from a non-exhaustive list of known checksums..
