The `lib.exe` program is the default // tool for managing `.lib` archives on Windows, but unfortunately the // compiler cannot use it. // // To recap, we use `ar` here to manage rlibs (which are just archives). // LLVM does not expose bindings for modifying archives so we have to // invoke this utility for write operations (e.g. deleting files, adding // files, etc). Normally archives only have object files within them, // but the compiler also uses archives for storing metadata and // compressed bytecode, so we don't exactly fall within "normal use // cases". // // MSVC's `lib.exe` tool by default will choke when adding a non-object // file to an archive, which we do on a regular basis, making it // inoperable for us. Luckily, however, LLVM has already rewritten `ar` // in the form of `llvm-ar` which is built by default when we build // LLVM. This tool, unlike `lib.exe`, works just fine with non-object // files, so we use it instead. // // Note that there's a few caveats associated with this: // // * This still requires that the *linker* (the consumer of rlibs) will // ignore non-object files. Thankfully `link.exe` on Windows does // indeed ignore non-object files in archives. // * This requires `llvm-ar.exe` to be distributed with the compiler // itself, but we already make sure of this elsewhere. // // Perhaps one day we won't even need this tool at all and we'll just be // able to make library calls into LLVM! ar: "llvm-ar.exe".to_string(), dynamic_linking: true, executables: true, dll_prefix: "".to_string(), dll_suffix: ".dll".to_string(), exe_suffix: ".exe".to_string(), staticlib_prefix: "".to_string(), staticlib_suffix: ".lib".to_string(), is_like_windows: true, is_like_msvc: true, pre_link_args: vec![ "/NOLOGO".to_string(), "/NXCOMPAT".to_string(), ], exe_allocation_crate: "alloc_system".to_string(), ..
