One more,
I couldn't build the libswiftCore.dll which can be used for Hello.swift. At
least one symbol _TMSS is not dllexported.
(But I could build the dll with dlltool.exe which make all symbols to be
dllexported)
To find out the reason, I built a Swift.ll instead of the Swift.obj for the
libswiftCore.dll. The Swift.ll are built from many
stdlib/public/core/*.swift and core/8/*.swift files, and about 50MB.
In that file, I could find many dllexport symbols, like
@_TZvOs7Process5_argcVs5Int32 = dllexport global %Vs5Int32 zeroinitializer,
align 4
and Hello.ll uses them,
@_TZvOs7Process5_argcVs5Int32 = external dllimport global %Vs5Int32, align 4
In the case of _TMSS, Hello.ll uses the same way,
@_TMSS = external dllimport global %swift.type, align 8
But, Swift.ll did not declared with dllexport.
@_TMSS = alias %swift.type, bitcast (i64* getelementptr inbounds (<{ i8**,
i64, i64, %swift.type*, i64 }>, <{ i8**, i64, i64, %swift.type*, i64 }>*
@_TMfSS, i32 0, i32 1) to %swift.type*)
How we can make @_TMSS also has the dllexport? Or any other solution ?
