Derek Schuff 3391e039d6 Replace update_bazel_workspace.sh with a python script (#1271)
This script is (IMO) more readable, but the real reason for this change is that
it raises an error message when the binary package fails to download. (The shell
script silently generated a bogus hash instead, because the shell's `set -e`
builtin does not affect commands executing inside a $() context.
It seemed just as easy to rewrite the script in Python as to fix that.

This change also updates some outdated filename references.

Bazel Emscripten toolchain

Setup Instructions

In WORKSPACE file, put:

load("@bazel_tools//tools/build_defs/repo:http.bzl", "http_archive")
http_archive(
    name = "emsdk",
    sha256 = "d55e3c73fc4f8d1fecb7aabe548de86bdb55080fe6b12ce593d63b8bade54567",
    strip_prefix = "emsdk-3891e7b04bf8cbb3bc62758e9c575ae096a9a518/bazel",
    url = "https://github.com/emscripten-core/emsdk/archive/3891e7b04bf8cbb3bc62758e9c575ae096a9a518.tar.gz",
)

load("@emsdk//:deps.bzl", emsdk_deps = "deps")
emsdk_deps()

load("@emsdk//:emscripten_deps.bzl", emsdk_emscripten_deps = "emscripten_deps")
emsdk_emscripten_deps(emscripten_version = "2.0.31")

load("@emsdk//:toolchains.bzl", "register_emscripten_toolchains")
register_emscripten_toolchains()

The SHA1 hash in the above strip_prefix and url parameters correspond to the git revision of emsdk 2.0.31. To get access to newer versions, you'll need to update those. To make use of older versions, change the parameter of emsdk_emscripten_deps(). Supported versions are listed in revisions.bzl

Building

Put the following line into your .bazelrc:

build --incompatible_enable_cc_toolchain_resolution

Then write a new rule wrapping your cc_binary.

load("@rules_cc//cc:defs.bzl", "cc_binary")
load("@emsdk//emscripten_toolchain:wasm_rules.bzl", "wasm_cc_binary")

cc_binary(
    name = "hello-world",
    srcs = ["hello-world.cc"],
)

wasm_cc_binary(
    name = "hello-world-wasm",
    cc_target = ":hello-world",
)

Now you can run bazel build :hello-world-wasm. The result of this build will be the individual files produced by emscripten. Note that some of these files may be empty. This is because bazel has no concept of optional outputs for rules.

wasm_cc_binary uses transition to use emscripten toolchain on cc_target and all of its dependencies, and does not require amending .bazelrc. This is the preferred way, since it also unpacks the resulting tarball.

See test_external/ for an example using embind.
