Review Comment:
I haven't been able to make this work for `WIN32` yet, I'll keep
investigating how to force the linker to not optimize out
`arrow_compute_shared` and force adding it on `WIN32`. I am unsure this is what
we want to do. From what I understand the linker is allowed to skip libraries
not used by the end result and as `libarrow_compute_shared` is never used it
optimizes it out that's why we have to use the `--no-as-needed` / `-force-load`
/ `while-archive` flags. From my understanding, having the static initializer
there and never calling anything explicitly on `libarrow_compute` will make
anyone that tries to use Compute and link against Arrow to require those flags
to be set making the use of `arrow_compute` quite cumbersome.
At this point I think the explicit function call to `RegisterComputeKernels`
is a better approach as it's much simpler from a user stand-point.
@kou @pitrou any thoughts on this?
I am trying to investigate as this is new for me :) and I haven't found much
info about those flags or how to use them on the different platforms. A couple
of links issues around those (not super relevant):
