sample application in C++ with lib boringssl

BoringSSL is a fork of OpenSSL that is designed to meet Google's needs. The maintainers provide a branch(master-with-bazel) with BUILD, turning it into an external bazel dependency. However, it's still one step away from a runnable main function.

Below is my scaffold.

WORKSPACE

workspace(name = "boringsslapp")

load("@bazel_tools//tools/build_defs/repo:git.bzl", "git_repository")

git_repository(

name = "boringssl",

commit = "bdbe37905216bea8dd4d0fdee93f6ee415d3aa15",

remote = "https://boringssl.googlesource.com/boringssl",

)

source/main.cc

#include "external/boringssl/src/include/openssl/bio.h"

#include "external/boringssl/src/include/openssl/err.h"

#include "external/boringssl/src/include/openssl/ssl.h"

int main(int argc, char **argv) {

SSL_CTX *ctx = SSL_CTX_new(TLS_method());

SSL *ssl = SSL_new(ctx);

std::cout << "Hello, boringssl " << ssl << std::endl;

SSL_free(ssl);

SSL_CTX_free(ctx);

return 0;

}

source/BUILD

cc_binary(

name = "main",

srcs = ["main.cc"],

deps = [

"@boringssl//:crypto",

"@boringssl//:ssl",

],

)

$ bazel run //source:main

Hello, boringssl 0x562960bbbbe8
