The documentation for Bazel's Args states that standard conversion rules are only specified for strings, Files, and Labels. For all other types the conversion to a string is done in an unspecified manner, which is why it should be avoided.

Let's stay away from this unspecified behaviour by explicitly converting the precompile optimization level to a string before calling Args.add().

Summary of Changes

Hello @EdSchouten, 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 improves the robustness and predictability of the build process by ensuring that arguments passed to Bazel's Args.add() method adhere strictly to documented type conversion rules. By explicitly casting an integer value to a string, it eliminates reliance on undefined implicit conversions, thereby preventing potential runtime issues and making the code more resilient to future Bazel updates.

Highlights

  • Bazel Args.add() Type Safety: Ensures that the precompile_optimize_level attribute is explicitly converted to a string before being passed to Args.add(), aligning with Bazel's documentation which specifies standard conversion rules only for strings, Files, and Labels, thus preventing reliance on unspecified implicit conversions for integers.

Code Review

The pull request addresses an issue where the Args.add() method was being called with an integer value, which is not explicitly supported according to Bazel's documentation. The change converts the precompile_optimize_level attribute to a string before passing it to Args.add(). This ensures that the argument is handled in a predictable manner, avoiding unspecified behavior.
