By default, use the value of the visibility parameter above. gen_reflections: Optional, if true this will generate the flatbuffer reflection binaries for the schemas.

Fileset([name]_reflection): (Optional) all generated reflection binaries. cc_library([name]): library with sources and flatbuffers deps. Remarks: ** Because the genrule used to call flatc does not have any trivial way of computing the output list of files transitively generated by includes and --gen-includes (the default) being defined for flatc, the --gen-includes flag will not work as expected. The way around this is to add a dependency to the flatbuffer_cc_library defined alongside the flatc included Fileset. For example you might define: flatbuffer_cc_library( name = "my_fbs", srcs = [ "schemas/foo.fbs" ], includes = [ "//third_party/bazz:bazz_fbs_includes" ], ) In which foo.fbs includes a few files from the Fileset defined at //third_party/bazz:bazz_fbs_includes. When compiling the library that includes foo_generated.h, and therefore has my_fbs as a dependency, it will fail to find any of the bazz *_generated.h files unless you also add bazz's flatbuffer_cc_library to your own dependency list, e.g.: cc_library( name = "my_lib", deps = [ ":my_fbs", "//third_party/bazz:bazz_fbs" ], ) Happy dependent Flatbuffering!
