find_runfiles.h File Reference

Detailed Description

This file contains helpers to work with Bazel-declared runfiles – declared data dependencies used by C++ code.

The functions in this file only succeed when used within a Bazel build.

All source code within Drake should use FindResource() or FindResourceOrThrow() instead of these Runfiles routines, because FindResource will operate correctly in pre-compiled / installed builds of Drake whereas FindRunfile will not.

These runfiles-related helpers are intended for use by downstream Bazel projects that use Drake as a library, so that those projects can reuse the relatively complicated logic within these routines during source builds.
