/// in an archive then it needs to be of a form that the linker is able to process.
/// Now it's not clear whether metadata still needs to be wrapped into an object file or not.
///
/// Note, though, that we don't actually want this metadata to show up in any
/// final output of the compiler. Instead this is purely for rustc's own

/// With the above in mind, each "flavor" of object format gets special
/// handling here depending on the target:
///
/// * MachO - macos-like targets will insert the metadata into a section that
///   is sort of fake dwarf debug info. Inspecting the source of the macos
///   linker this causes these sections to be skipped automatically because
///   it's not in an allowlist of otherwise well known dwarf section names to
///   go into the final artifact.
///
/// * WebAssembly - this uses wasm files themselves as the object file format
///   so an empty file with no linking metadata but a single custom section is
///   created holding our metadata.
///
/// * COFF - Windows-like targets create an object with a section that has
///   the `IMAGE_SCN_LNK_REMOVE` flag set which ensures that if the linker
///   ever sees the section it doesn't process it and it's removed.
///
/// * ELF - All other targets are similar to Windows in that there's a
///   `SHF_EXCLUDE` flag we can set on sections in an object file to get
///   automatically removed from the final output.
