This is an opening of a very likely very short design discussion for #81490.
Hi @petrochenkov, thanks so much for pushing for this! I just filed bazelbuild/rules_rust#637 to document what and why we need to be able to link mixed C++/Rust binaries with rustc
as the linker driver. I believe what you propose will solve all our problems, but just to be sure I'd like to reiterate:
- we'd like to control bundling (whether or not a library is wrapped in
--whole-archive
/--no-whole-archive
- we'd like to be able to pass
--start-lib
/--end-lib
with object files instead of a static archive. I believe we will be able to do that using--codegen=link-arg
after the proposed change to keep relative order of-l:
flags and--codegen=link-arg
respected - we'd like to pass libraries verbatim
My questions:
- Do all 3 points make sense to you and do you agree that
native_link_modifiers
aim to solve them? - Do you have a timeline in which this could be implemented? Do you seek contributions for this effort?
Thank you!
