Listing available 'Make' Variables in Genrule?
To actually answer your question, I searched for "TemplateVariableInfo" in the rules_foreign_cc project (since TemplateVariableInfo is the provider that declares template variables), and there's only one location: toolchains/toolchains.bzl. Reading this, the `toolchains.data.env` variable that's set is coming after a call to `expand_locations_and_make_variables` (from foreign_cc/private/framework.bzl), so without running a debugger I have no idea what's there. It's possible that the rules themselves are confused about this.

C++ IDE support
How do you develop your C++ code? I have made a quick research, and results are pretty poor. It seems that only the CLion is fully supported. I have found that script for compilation_database generation grailbio/bazel-compilation-database, but it must be ran manually, and besides code indexing I miss many of the CLion features like smart BUILD/*.bzl files editing and debugging
