You will need to add the following as replacement for the old __rust_*
definitions when not using the alloc shim.
#[no_mangle]
static __rust_no_alloc_shim_is_unstable: u8 = 0;
This makes it possible to use liballoc/libstd in combination with
`--emit obj` if you use `#[global_allocator]`. Making it work for the
default libstd allocator would require weak functions, which are not
well supported on all systems.
The new implementation doesn't use weak lang items and instead changes
`#[alloc_error_handler]` to an attribute macro just like
`#[global_allocator]`.
The attribute will generate the `__rg_oom` function which is called by
the compiler-generated `__rust_alloc_error_handler`. If no `__rg_oom`
function is defined in any crate then the compiler shim will call
`__rdl_oom` in the alloc crate which will simply panic.
This also fixes link errors with `-C link-dead-code` with
`default_alloc_error_handler`: `__rg_oom` was previously defined in the
alloc crate and would attempt to reference the `oom` lang item, even if
it didn't exist. This worked as long as `__rg_oom` was excluded from
linking since it was not called.
This is a prerequisite for the stabilization of
`default_alloc_error_handler` (#102318).
