codeql/misc/bazel/cmake/README.md

This directory contains a Bazel to CMake generator intended mainly for IDE integration.

cmake.bzl contains the Bazel side, with the cmake_aspect rule gathering the necessary information from cc_* rules and generate_cmake translating that information into CMake commands. generate_cmake targets also depend on all files that are either generated or fetched from external repositories, so that Bazel will fill in those dependencies before letting CMake do the C/C++ compilation.

setup.cmake contains the generic CMake setup, setting up some Bazel related global variables and providing an include_generated macro to be used in CMakeLists.txt to include a specific generate_cmake Bazel target.

See Swift's CMakeLists.txt file for an example usage.
