When dlltool fails, show the full command that was executed. In
particular, llvm-dlltool is not very helpful, printing a generic usage
message rather than what actually went wrong, so stdout and stderr
aren't of much use when troubleshooting.
This updates object to 0.30 and fixes a bug where the symbol table
would be omitted for archives where there are object files yet none
that export any symbol. This bug could lead to linker errors for crates
like rustc_std_workspace_core which don't contain any code of their own
but exist solely for their dependencies. This is likely the cause of
the linker issues I was experiencing on Webassembly. It has been shown
to cause issues on other platforms too.
cc rust-lang/ar_archive_writer#5
Previously attempting to link universal libraries into libraries (but not binaries) would produce an error that "File too small to be an archive". This works around this by using `object` to extract a library for the target platform when passed a univeral library.
Fixes#55235
This avoids monomorphizing all linker code for each codegen backend and
will allow passing in extra information to the archive builder from the
codegen backend.
Implement `#[link_ordinal(n)]`
Allows the use of `#[link_ordinal(n)]` with `#[link(kind = "raw-dylib")]`, allowing Rust to link against DLLs that export symbols by ordinal rather than by name. As long as the ordinal matches, the name of the function in Rust is not required to match the name of the corresponding function in the exporting DLL.
Part of #58713.
This does not yet support #[link_name] attributes on functions, the #[link_ordinal]
attribute, #[link(kind = "raw-dylib")] on extern blocks in bin crates, or
stdcall functions on 32-bit x86.
This commit implements both the native linking modifiers infrastructure
as well as an initial attempt at the individual modifiers from the RFC.
It also introduces a feature flag for the general syntax along with
individual feature flags for each modifier.
with an eye on merging `TargetOptions` into `Target`.
`TargetOptions` as a separate structure is mostly an implementation detail of `Target` construction, all its fields logically belong to `Target` and available from `Target` through `Deref` impls.
