This document includes guidelines.
To build Yacl from source, you will need the following tools:
- bazel: We recommend to use the official bazelisk to manage bazel version.
- gcc >= 10.3
- cmake
- ninja/ninja-build
- Perl 5 with core modules (Required by OpenSSL)
Please make sure you already have git
installed on your system, then clone Yacl
git clone https://github.com/secretflow/yacl
Download the dependencies
sudo apt install gcc wget cmake ninja-build nasm automake libtool
We recommend to use bazelisk
to manage different versions of bazel
. On Linux, You can download Bazelisk binary on our Releases page and add it to your PATH manually, which also works on macOS and Windows. You can download the newest bazelisk
binary from its official github release page.
The following is an example of downloading and setting up bazelisk v1.20.0, you may change the tag v1.20.0
to any latest version, or any version you prefer.
# If you use a x86 architecture cpu
wget https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazelisk/releases/download/v1.20.0/bazelisk-linux-amd64
mv bazelisk-linux-amd64 bazel && chmod +x bazel
sudo mv bazel /usr/local/bin # you need sudo to do this
# If you use an arm architecture cpu
wget https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazelisk/releases/download/v1.20.0/bazelisk-linux-arm64
mv bazelisk-linux-arm64 bazel && chmod +x bazel
sudo mv bazel /usr/local/bin # you need sudo to do this
To build Yacl, at yacl's root directory, run the following
bazel build //...
bazel build //... -c opt # build as optimized mode
bazel build //... -c dbg # build as debug mode
To test Yacl
bazel test //...
First you need to download XCode and homebrew,
# Install Xcode
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/xcode/id497799835?mt=12
# Select Xcode toolchain version
sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
Then download the dependencies,
# Install dependencies
brew install bazelisk cmake ninja nasm automake libtool
To build Yacl, at yacl's root directory, run the following
bazel build //...
bazel build //... -c opt # build as optimized mode
bazel build //... -c dbg # build as debug mode
To test Yacl
bazel test //...
Language servers accept a compile_commands.json
file input to help it with linting, jumping to definitions/references, and other functions. This file consists of an array of “command objects”, where each command object specifies one way a translation unit is compiled in the project. A lot of modern C/C++ build system can generate this file with simple steps, it's the same for bazel.
sudo apt install curl
cd /path/to/yacl/ # change to yacl path
bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/secretflow/devtools/9efb0bc93068a122864fdb661946695badacbe24/refresh_compile_commands.sh)
We recommend to use the following extensions for vscode users:
- Clang-Format: Use Clang-Format in Visual Studio Code
- cpplint: code style check tool extension for cpplint
- Bazel: Bazel BUILD integration
- clangd: C/C++ completion, navigation, and insights
