1//! Resolution of mixing rlibs and dylibs
2//!
3//! When producing a final artifact, such as a dynamic library, the compiler has
4//! a choice between linking an rlib or linking a dylib of all upstream
5//! dependencies. The linking phase must guarantee, however, that a library only
6//! show up once in the object file. For example, it is illegal for library A to
7//! be statically linked to B and C in separate dylibs, and then link B and C
8//! into a crate D (because library A appears twice).
9//!
10//! The job of this module is to calculate what format each upstream crate
11//! should be used when linking each output type requested in this session. This
12//! generally follows this set of rules:
13//!
14//! 1. Each library must appear exactly once in the output.
15//! 2. Each rlib contains only one library (it's just an object file)
16//! 3. Each dylib can contain more than one library (due to static linking),
17//! and can also bring in many dynamic dependencies.
18//!
19//! With these constraints in mind, it's generally a very difficult problem to
20//! find a solution that's not "all rlibs" or "all dylibs". I have suspicions
21//! that NP-ness may come into the picture here...
22//!
23//! The current selection algorithm below looks mostly similar to:
24//!
25//! 1. If static linking is required, then require all upstream dependencies
26//! to be available as rlibs. If not, generate an error.
27//! 2. If static linking is requested (generating an executable), then
28//! attempt to use all upstream dependencies as rlibs. If any are not
29//! found, bail out and continue to step 3.
30//! 3. Static linking has failed, at least one library must be dynamically
31//! linked. Apply a heuristic by greedily maximizing the number of
32//! dynamically linked libraries.
33//! 4. Each upstream dependency available as a dynamic library is
34//! registered. The dependencies all propagate, adding to a map. It is
35//! possible for a dylib to add a static library as a dependency, but it
36//! is illegal for two dylibs to add the same static library as a
37//! dependency. The same dylib can be added twice. Additionally, it is
38//! illegal to add a static dependency when it was previously found as a
39//! dylib (and vice versa)
40//! 5. After all dynamic dependencies have been traversed, re-traverse the
41//! remaining dependencies and add them statically (if they haven't been
42//! added already).
43//!
44//! While not perfect, this algorithm should help support use-cases such as leaf
45//! dependencies being static while the larger tree of inner dependencies are
46//! all dynamic. This isn't currently very well battle tested, so it will likely
47//! fall short in some use cases.
48//!
49//! Currently, there is no way to specify the preference of linkage with a
50//! particular library (other than a global dynamic/static switch).
51//! Additionally, the algorithm is geared towards finding *any* solution rather
52//! than finding a number of solutions (there are normally quite a few).
