The Zig compiler ships with various versions of libc and libc++. However, it does not link against these libraries by default, and accordingly does not expose standard library headers for C imports by default. To enable the import of C standard library headers the compiler must be instructed to link against libc or libc++ as appropriate by passing the
-lc
or-lc++
options, or similar.This is already possible with rules_zig as is by adding a
cc_library
target to thecdeps
attribute that setslinkopts
to include-lc
or similar. This change adds helper targets to rules_zig for convenience and includes an e2e test for this use-case.Closes #161
