11 //! Resolution of mixing rlibs and dylibs
13 //! When producing a final artifact, such as a dynamic library, the compiler has
14 //! a choice between linking an rlib or linking a dylib of all upstream
15 //! dependencies. The linking phase must guarantee, however, that a library only
16 //! show up once in the object file. For example, it is illegal for library A to
17 //! be statically linked to B and C in separate dylibs, and then link B and C
18 //! into a crate D (because library A appears twice).
20 //! The job of this module is to calculate what format each upstream crate
21 //! should be used when linking each output type requested in this session. This
22 //! generally follows this set of rules:
24 //! 1. Each library must appear exactly once in the output.
25 //! 2. Each rlib contains only one library (it's just an object file)
26 //! 3. Each dylib can contain more than one library (due to static linking),
27 //! and can also bring in many dynamic dependencies.
29 //! With these constraints in mind, it's generally a very difficult problem to
30 //! find a solution that's not "all rlibs" or "all dylibs". I have suspicions
31 //! that NP-ness may come into the picture here...
33 //! The current selection algorithm below looks mostly similar to:
35 //! 1. If static linking is required, then require all upstream dependencies
36 //! to be available as rlibs. If not, generate an error.
37 //! 2. If static linking is requested (generating an executable), then
38 //! attempt to use all upstream dependencies as rlibs. If any are not
39 //! found, bail out and continue to step 3.
40 //! 3. Static linking has failed, at least one library must be dynamically
41 //! linked. Apply a heuristic by greedily maximizing the number of
42 //! dynamically linked libraries.
43 //! 4. Each upstream dependency available as a dynamic library is
44 //! registered. The dependencies all propagate, adding to a map. It is
45 //! possible for a dylib to add a static library as a dependency, but it
46 //! is illegal for two dylibs to add the same static library as a
47 //! dependency. The same dylib can be added twice. Additionally, it is
48 //! illegal to add a static dependency when it was previously found as a
49 //! dylib (and vice versa)
50 //! 5. After all dynamic dependencies have been traversed, re-traverse the
51 //! remaining dependencies and add them statically (if they haven't been
54 //! While not perfect, this algorithm should help support use-cases such as leaf
55 //! dependencies being static while the larger tree of inner dependencies are
56 //! all dynamic. This isn't currently very well battle tested, so it will likely
57 //! fall short in some use cases.
59 //! Currently, there is no way to specify the preference of linkage with a
60 //! particular library (other than a global dynamic/static switch).
61 //! Additionally, the algorithm is geared towards finding *any* solution rather
62 //! than finding a number of solutions (there are normally quite a few).
