Currently it is possible to avoid linking the allocator shim when
__rust_no_alloc_shim_is_unstable_v2 is defined when linking rlibs
directly as some build systems need. However this requires liballoc to
be compiled with --cfg no_global_oom_handling, which places huge
restrictions on what functions you can call and makes it impossible to
use libstd. Or alternatively you have to define
__rust_alloc_error_handler and (when using libstd)
__rust_alloc_error_handler_should_panic
using #[rustc_std_internal_symbol]. With this commit you can either use
libstd and define __rust_alloc_error_handler_should_panic or not use
libstd and use #[alloc_error_handler] instead. Both options are still
unstable though.
Eventually the alloc_error_handler may either be removed entirely
(though the PR for that has been stale for years now) or we may start
using weak symbols for it instead. For the latter case this commit is a
prerequisite anyway.
While cg_llvm is very lax about mismatched function signatures, cg_clif
will crash when there is any mismatch. It could be turned into an error,
but without Cranelift changes can't just be ignored.
