Research direction
The request concerns Bazel's C++ Rules and the bazel-compile-commands-extractor project; start by reviewing that tool and Bazel's current C++ build-information interfaces. Done means defining and implementing official support for generating compile_commands.json, including cases the third-party tool does not handle.
