Thank you for the PR. I think I noticed a discrepancy between the symbol checking logic between the original Makefile and the rmake.rs version.

Suggestion: having this return a bool but then also have output logging is weird. We probably want to have a read_symbols(path) return something like Vec<OsString> or Vec<Vec<u8>> (pretty sure symbols don't need to be UTF-8), and then have an assertion helper based on that:

fn assert_symbols_match_exactly(expected_symbols: &[&OsStr], found_symbols: &[&OsStr]) {
    assert_eq!(expected_symbols, found_symbols, "symbols do not match exactly");
}

or something more generic, like assert_byte_strings_are_equal.

(or some customized equality assertion to not show u8 slice debug repr)

Problem: am I understanding the logic here is that for a given object file, and a given list of expected symbols, we want the object file to contain the symbol at least once? Or does the test actually want exact counts of occurrences of symbols? AFAICT, the logic here only checks that a given expected symbol occurs at least once, whereas the logic in the original Makefile checks that a given expected symbol occurs exactly once, so the logic is not equivalent from what I can tell.

the previous makefile wasn't checking for exact symbol names though.

"accidentally generating duplicate symbols and somehow not encountering a link error" doesn't seem like a very probable failure mode, and if it is likely, then i would rather approach that with a helper that asserts a file does not contain any duplicate symbols, rather than checking the counts of specific symbols.

i should probably move the debug output into assertion helpers though, the current behavior is based off of the cat-and-grep script, but it's a bit confusing, and we can do better.

Question: Hm,

  • -D is "display the dynamic symbols rather than the normal symbols. This is only meaningful for dynamic objects, such as certain types of shared libraries"
  • -g is "display only external symbols"
  • -U is "display only defined symbols for each object file. By default both defined and undefined symbols are displayed"

and these flags are passed differently based on platforms. Are we sure with_symbol_iter based on object preserves these behavior?

Hmm? That doesn't seem right, since the Makefile test is only ignore-cross-compile + ignore-windows-msvc, or am I misunderstanding something? This still leaves host linux, host apple and host windows mingw targets?

It seems you're correct, I must've been thinking of a different rmake test.

Still, it seems strange that it would look for different kinds of symbols on different platforms, shouldn't the symbols have the same linkage regardless of platform?

Yeah, this is exactly why I noticed it. I'll try to do a little digging from the original PR to see why it had to use different nm flags, this seems very cursed.

I looked at the original PR alongside review comments, and unfortunately it was not enlightening as to the why.

nm flags:

-D: --dynamic
	Display the dynamic symbols rather than the normal symbols. This is only meaningful for dynamic objects, such as certain types of shared libraries. 

-g: --extern-only
	Show only external symbols

-gU: --extern-only --defined-only
	Display only defined symbols for each object file. By default both defined and undefined symbols are displayed.

I'm inclined to say ideally we want --dynamic + --extern-only + --defined-only consistently across the platforms (this probably fails, but I'd like to know on which platforms that fails). So maybe something based on Object::exports.

(This is going to take a couple of tries to get right I'm afraid.)

there's the ObjectSymbol::is_* family of function, but i'm somewhat confused what it would mean to have a non-dynamic global symbol in a dynamic object.

Symbol names on OSX are listed as _fun4 with a trailing leading underscore. In previous tests, we've been doing the rough and potentially prone to error check of "does this output contain the string fun4". If you want to make this correct, you may consider adding an is_darwin check to your helper function to autoformat symbols.

do you mean a leading underscore? or do you mean its listed as _fun_?

Leading, sorry, it's a typo.

@Oneirical any idea why it does that? is there some piece of documentation saying that's how it works?

it seems odd that a no_mangle symbol would be subject to a form of mangling.

@lolbinarycat based on https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/715385

C, and all later languages, add a leading underscore (_) to distinguish their symbols from assembly language symbols.

It might be a macos/apple linker convention that we follow?

hmm....that still feels pretty fragile to me, maybe we should just add an underscore on macOS

I need to revisit this and ask the target maintainers and people who know about the symbol situation.

Dear apple experts, do you know if macOS expects dylib symbol names with an underscore prefix? The closest thing I can find is developer.apple.com/forums/thread/715385 and the sentence "C, and all later languages, add a leading underscore (_) to distinguish their symbols from assembly language symbols." I'm asking as I don't know what is the intended behavior.

Hey Apple notification group! This issue or PR could use some Apple-specific
guidance. Could one of you weigh in? Thanks <3

(In case it's useful, here are some instructions for tackling these sorts of
issues).

Dear apple experts, do you know if macOS expects dylib symbol names with an underscore prefix?

Yes. dyld expects anything beyond assembly procedures starts with an underscore prefix.

Yes. dyld expects anything beyond assembly procedures starts with an underscore prefix.

Thank you, that's what I expected but I couldn't find relevant "official" docs. Do you know of any official docs or references that describes this? I couldn't find anything in docs for dyld (incl. its man pages) that describes this.

The closest I got is https://opensource.apple.com/source/dyld/dyld-132.13/src/dyldAPIs.cpp.auto.html and

void* dlsym(void* handle, const char* symbolName)
{
	if ( dyld::gLogAPIs )
		dyld::log("%s(%p, %s)\n", __func__, handle, symbolName);

	dlerrorClear();

	const ImageLoader* image;
	const ImageLoader::Symbol* sym;

	// dlsym() assumes symbolName passed in is same as in C source code
	// dyld assumes all symbol names have an underscore prefix

which is almost like "source: I made it up" lol.

Suggestion: apparently dyld expects dylib symbol names to be prefixed with _, so we should describe this difference.

Nit: match pred -> satisfies pred.

Suggestion: ditto above, we should describe on macOS we expect _ prefix in addition to the non-underscore-prefixed symbol name.

Can you clarify what you mean by "symbol types"?

@bjorn3 said:

Mach-O states that all exported symbols should have an underscore as prefix. At the same time dlsym will implicitly add it, so outside of compilers, linkers and people writing assembly, nobody needs to be aware of this.

On macOS we should expect that the dylib symbol begins with an underscore _.
