Enum Item 

pub enum Item {
    File(String),
    Library(String),
    Linker(String),
}

One item on the link line, in the order it was written, because link order is semantic.

A library named before the object that needs it is not found on a static link, which is the oldest surprise in the toolchain and the reason this is one ordered list rather than a list of files and a list of libraries.

Variants

File(String)

A file: an object this compilation produced, or one named on the command line.

Library(String)

-l<name>, which the linker resolves against its search path.

Linker(String)

One word from -Wl, or -Xlinker, handed to the linker where the user wrote it.

Here rather than in a list of its own because a great many of the linker’s options are a bracket around the files after them, and an option moved away from what it brackets means something else or nothing at all. --whole-archive says that every member of every archive named after it goes in whether anything referenced it or not, --start-group says that the archives after it are searched again until nothing more comes out, and -Bstatic says which half of a library that ships both is wanted. Collecting them and appending them to the end leaves each of those pointing at nothing.
