This line shouldn't be removed as I believe it's required for msvc

Are you sure? cc::Build::compile prints to stdout a cargo directive that makes the link work, which I think is how this works. https://docs.rs/cc/1.0.3/src/cc/lib.rs.html#781

Can you help me understand how hoedown, profiler-rt, binaryen_wrapper, and others work? AFAICT, none of them have #[link(...)] attributes.

Sure yes. This annotation is primarily needed for MSVC where attributes like dllimport/dllexport are applied and need to be correct for everything to link successfully. The #[link] annotation here says "these symbols are included statically" which means that they're all exported with dllexport and from the rustc_llvm dynamic library. Otherwise the rustc_trans dynamic library would not be able to access these symbols.
The other libraries we have just happen to not run into this situation where they cross dynamic library boundaries.

Thanks! I've included your explanation in the code.

Isn't this comment still largely applicable with some editing?

Sort of, but there's no longer anything here to anchor it to, and the relevant code (in build.rs) is rather self explanatory.

Ok yeah on rereading let's leave out
...that were removed in 77c3bfa.
The documentation states: "The name output should be the name of the library." and this is already done in more recently-added callers.

Something to do with travis using an older xcode? Doesn't seem related to this PR. |
