instead of native-cc rules which appear to be unable to find ld on my machine

Summary of Changes

Hello @loosebazooka, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request updates the project's Bazel configuration to utilize rules_cc for building C/C++ binaries, moving away from the native.cc_binary rule. This change aims to leverage the dedicated rules_cc repository for C/C++ build logic, potentially offering more features or better maintainability.

Highlights

  • Dependency Update: Added rules_cc as a new Bazel dependency in MODULE.bazel to enable its use across the project.
  • C/C++ Rule Migration: Modified private/oci/cc_image.bzl to import cc_binary from @rules_cc and replace the native.cc_binary call with the new cc_binary rule.

Code Review

This pull request migrates from using native.cc_binary to cc_binary from rules_cc by adding rules_cc as a dependency. This is a good move towards using modern C++ rules in Bazel. My review includes a suggestion to improve the cc_image macro to make it more robust by ensuring the C++ binary is built for the correct target platform, preventing potential runtime errors.

The cc_binary target should be constrained to build for the correct platform of the OCI image. Without this, bazel build might build the binary for the host platform, which could be different from the target image's platform, leading to a runtime exec format error.

To make this macro more robust and ensure correctness, I suggest adding target_compatible_with to the cc_image signature and passing it to cc_binary. This allows callers to specify platform constraints.

For example, callers could then specify target_compatible_with = ["@platforms//os:linux", "@platforms//cpu:x86_64"] for an amd64 linux image.

I've also updated the string formatting to use simple concatenation, which is generally more readable than the % operator for this case. You could also consider passing **kwargs to allow for more cc_binary attributes to be configured.

Suggested change
def cc_image(name, srcs, base):
native.cc_binary(
cc_binary(
name = "%s_binary" % name,
srcs = srcs,
)
def cc_image(name, srcs, base, target_compatible_with = None):
cc_binary(
name = name + "_binary",
srcs = srcs,
target_compatible_with = target_compatible_with,
)
