Bazel cross-compiled project breaks CLion source code comprehension

[jonathanfisher]

Description of the bug:

I have an embedded project, cross compiled (host: Windows 11, target: armv8-m (STM32U575)) using Bazel platforms.

However, when I load the project in CLion, I am unable to do the following:

1. Reformat code (Ctrl + Alt + L)
2. Go-to-definition (Ctrl + B) of symbol (function, variable, header)
3. Fold / unfold C/C++ code
4. Matching curly brace highlighting

Which category does this issue belong to?

CLion

What's the simplest, easiest way to reproduce this bug? Please provide a minimal example if possible.

Here's a small project I created to try to reproduce this:

MinimalProject.zip

The project builds just fine for me when I build manually using this: bazel build --platforms //platform:u575 //:hello-world.elf. Note: it also builds just fine in CLion. However, I am unable to do the above-mentioned things in C source files (reformat, "go to definition", highlight matching curly braces, fold code).

Example of "Go to definition of mylib_hello":
