interpret `#[used]` as `#[used(compiler)]` on illumos helps rust-lang/rust#146169 not be as painful: fixes the illumos regression in rust-lang/rust#140872, but `#[used(linker)]` is still erroneous on illumos generally. illumos' `ld` does not support a flag like either SHF_GNU_RETAIN or SHF_SUNW_NODISCARD, so there is no way to communicate `#[used(linker)]` for that target. Setting `USED_LINKER` to try results in LLVM setting SHF_SUNW_NODISCARD for Solaris-like targets, which is an unknown section header flag for illumos `ld` and prevents sections from being merged that otherwise would. As a motivating example, the `inventory` crate produces `#[used]` items to merge into `.init_array`. Because those items have an unknown section header flag they are not merged with the default `.init_array` with `frame_dummy`, and end up never executed. Downgrading `#[used]` to `#[used(compiler)]` on illumos keeps so-attributed items as preserved as they had been before https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/140872. As was the case before that change, because rustc passes `-z ignore` to illumos `ld`, it's possible that `used` sections are GC'd at link time. https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/146169 describes this unfortunate circumstance. ---- as it turns out, `tests/ui/attributes/used_with_archive.rs` had broken on `x86_64-unknown-illumos`, and this patch fixes it. the trials and tribulations of tier 2 :( r? ````@Noratrieb```` probably? |
