#17685 go: what to name a compiler flags field? New discussion created by tdyas What should we name the field on Go target types for adding extra compiler flags to compilation of Go files? In #17683, I've called the field

compiler_flags

but that seems too verbose and could be better. Some ideas: •

compile_flags

•

build_flags

•

compile_opts

•

build_opts

Bazel calls its equivalent field

gc_goopts

where

gc

means "Go compiler" and

goopts

is Go options. This naming convention will also be used for assembler and linker flags as well. Maybe

asm_flags

and

link_flags

? Or

assembler_flags

or

linker_flags
