rucc-driver 0.3.12

//! Finding a linker and telling it what to link.
//!
//! Design: `spec/04-driver-and-cli.md` section 4.9. There is no linker of our own before 1.0, so
//! this finds one on the machine and builds the command line it wants.
//!
//! The linker is invoked directly rather than through the system compiler driver. Going through
//! `cc` would be shorter to write and would borrow that compiler's idea of where everything is,
//! and it would also mean this compiler cannot link on a machine that has no other compiler on
//! it, which is most of the machines a compiler ends up on. It would also make `-###` output a
//! line that does not say what happens, since the interesting half would be inside the program
//! being spawned.
//!
//! # What is not decided here
//!
//! The startup files and the library directories are looked for rather than configured, for the
//! same reason `library` looks for the headers: gcc settles this when it is built because a gcc
//! is built for the machine it will run on, and this is one binary that runs wherever it is
//! copied. So the shape of the answer is a list of candidates per platform of which the ones
//! that exist are taken, and a cross build says where the rest is with `--sysroot`.
//!
//! # The compiler's own runtime
//!
//! `crtbegin`, `crtend` and the runtime libraries are found the same way, on the machine rather
//! than by configuration. Ours is `librucc_builtins.a`, looked for beside the compiler, and the
//! machine's `libgcc` goes on after it for the parts we have not written, which today is the
//! unwinder and its personality routine. The C library goes in front of both, so that on a target
//! that has one its `memcpy` is the one that answers rather than ours. `-fno-builtins-lib` leaves
//! ours off, for somebody who wants libgcc to answer for everything.
//!
//! On a static link the three archives go inside `--start-group`, because `libc.a` refers to the
//! unwinder and the unwinder refers back to `libc.a`, and a linker walking a list once resolves
//! whichever of the two it reaches first and leaves the other undefined. That circularity is the
//! whole reason `-static` failed before this, and it is issue #277.
//!
//! # What is not here yet
//!
//! Darwin and Windows. `ld64` wants a different line, a platform version load command and a
//! different set of default libraries, and `link.exe` wants another one again. Each arrives with
//! the target that needs it.
