1//! Finds crate binaries and loads their metadata
2//!
3//! Might I be the first to welcome you to a world of platform differences,
4//! version requirements, dependency graphs, conflicting desires, and fun! This
5//! is the major guts (along with metadata::creader) of the compiler for loading
6//! crates and resolving dependencies. Let's take a tour!
7//!
8//! # The problem
9//!
10//! Each invocation of the compiler is immediately concerned with one primary
11//! problem, to connect a set of crates to resolved crates on the filesystem.
12//! Concretely speaking, the compiler follows roughly these steps to get here:
13//!
14//! 1. Discover a set of `extern crate` statements.
15//! 2. Transform these directives into crate names. If the directive does not
16//!    have an explicit name, then the identifier is the name.
17//! 3. For each of these crate names, find a corresponding crate on the
18//!    filesystem.
19//!
20//! Sounds easy, right? Let's walk into some of the nuances.
21//!
22//! ## Transitive Dependencies
23//!
24//! Let's say we've got three crates: A, B, and C. A depends on B, and B depends
25//! on C. When we're compiling A, we primarily need to find and locate B, but we
26//! also end up needing to find and locate C as well.
27//!
28//! The reason for this is that any of B's types could be composed of C's types,
29//! any function in B could return a type from C, etc. To be able to guarantee
30//! that we can always type-check/translate any function, we have to have
31//! complete knowledge of the whole ecosystem, not just our immediate
32//! dependencies.
33//!
34//! So now as part of the "find a corresponding crate on the filesystem" step
35//! above, this involves also finding all crates for *all upstream
36//! dependencies*. This includes all dependencies transitively.
37//!
38//! ## Rlibs and Dylibs
39//!
40//! The compiler has two forms of intermediate dependencies. These are dubbed
41//! rlibs and dylibs for the static and dynamic variants, respectively. An rlib
42//! is a rustc-defined file format (currently just an ar archive) while a dylib
43//! is a platform-defined dynamic library. Each library has a metadata somewhere
44//! inside of it.
45//!
46//! A third kind of dependency is an rmeta file. These are metadata files and do
47//! not contain any code, etc. To a first approximation, these are treated in the
48//! same way as rlibs. Where there is both an rlib and an rmeta file, the rlib
49//! gets priority (even if the rmeta file is newer). An rmeta file is only
50//! useful for checking a downstream crate, attempting to link one will cause an
51//! error.
52//!
53//! When translating a crate name to a crate on the filesystem, we all of a
54//! sudden need to take into account both rlibs and dylibs! Linkage later on may
55//! use either one of these files, as each has their pros/cons. The job of crate
56//! loading is to discover what's possible by finding all candidates.
57//!
58//! Most parts of this loading systems keep the dylib/rlib as just separate
59//! variables.
60//!
61//! ## Where to look?
62//!
63//! We can't exactly scan your whole hard drive when looking for dependencies,
64//! so we need to places to look. Currently the compiler will implicitly add the
65//! target lib search path ($prefix/lib/rustlib/$target/lib) to any compilation,
66//! and otherwise all -L flags are added to the search paths.
67//!
68//! ## What criterion to select on?
69//!
70//! This is a pretty tricky area of loading crates. Given a file, how do we know
71//! whether it's the right crate? Currently, the rules look along these lines:
72//!
73//! 1. Does the filename match an rlib/dylib pattern? That is to say, does the
74//!    filename have the right prefix/suffix?
75//! 2. Does the filename have the right prefix for the crate name being queried?
76//!    This is filtering for files like `libfoo*.rlib` and such. If the crate
77//!    we're looking for was originally compiled with -C extra-filename, the
78//!    extra filename will be included in this prefix to reduce reading
79//!    metadata from crates that would otherwise share our prefix.
80//! 3. Is the file an actual rust library? This is done by loading the metadata
81//!    from the library and making sure it's actually there.
82//! 4. Does the name in the metadata agree with the name of the library?
83//! 5. Does the target in the metadata agree with the current target?
84//! 6. Does the SVH match? (more on this later)
85//!
86//! If the file answers `yes` to all these questions, then the file is
87//! considered as being *candidate* for being accepted. It is illegal to have
88//! more than two candidates as the compiler has no method by which to resolve
89//! this conflict. Additionally, rlib/dylib candidates are considered
90//! separately.
91//!
92//! After all this has happened, we have 1 or two files as candidates. These
93//! represent the rlib/dylib file found for a library, and they're returned as
94//! being found.
95//!
96//! ### What about versions?
97//!
98//! A lot of effort has been put forth to remove versioning from the compiler.
99//! There have been forays in the past to have versioning baked in, but it was
100//! largely always deemed insufficient to the point that it was recognized that
101//! it's probably something the compiler shouldn't do anyway due to its
102//! complicated nature and the state of the half-baked solutions.
103//!
104//! With a departure from versioning, the primary criterion for loading crates
105//! is just the name of a crate. If we stopped here, it would imply that you
106//! could never link two crates of the same name from different sources
107//! together, which is clearly a bad state to be in.
108//!
109//! To resolve this problem, we come to the next section!
110//!
111//! # Expert Mode
112//!
113//! A number of flags have been added to the compiler to solve the "version
114//! problem" in the previous section, as well as generally enabling more
115//! powerful usage of the crate loading system of the compiler. The goal of
116//! these flags and options are to enable third-party tools to drive the
117//! compiler with prior knowledge about how the world should look.
118//!
119//! ## The `--extern` flag
120//!
121//! The compiler accepts a flag of this form a number of times:
122//!
123//! ```text
124//! --extern crate-name=path/to/the/crate.rlib
125//! ```
126//!
127//! This flag is basically the following letter to the compiler:
128//!
129//! > Dear rustc,
130//! >
131//! > When you are attempting to load the immediate dependency `crate-name`, I
132//! > would like you to assume that the library is located at
133//! > `path/to/the/crate.rlib`, and look nowhere else. Also, please do not
134//! > assume that the path I specified has the name `crate-name`.
135//!
136//! This flag basically overrides most matching logic except for validating that
137//! the file is indeed a rust library. The same `crate-name` can be specified
138//! twice to specify the rlib/dylib pair.
139//!
140//! ## Enabling "multiple versions"
141//!
142//! This basically boils down to the ability to specify arbitrary packages to
143//! the compiler. For example, if crate A wanted to use Bv1 and Bv2, then it
144//! would look something like:
145//!
146//! ```compile_fail,E0463
147//! extern crate b1;
148//! extern crate b2;
149//!
150//! fn main() {}
151//! ```
152//!
153//! and the compiler would be invoked as:
154//!
155//! ```text
156//! rustc a.rs --extern b1=path/to/libb1.rlib --extern b2=path/to/libb2.rlib
157//! ```
158//!
159//! In this scenario there are two crates named `b` and the compiler must be
160//! manually driven to be informed where each crate is.
161//!
162//! ## Frobbing symbols
163//!
164//! One of the immediate problems with linking the same library together twice
165//! in the same problem is dealing with duplicate symbols. The primary way to
166//! deal with this in rustc is to add hashes to the end of each symbol.
167//!
168//! In order to force hashes to change between versions of a library, if
169//! desired, the compiler exposes an option `-C metadata=foo`, which is used to
170//! initially seed each symbol hash. The string `foo` is prepended to each
171//! string-to-hash to ensure that symbols change over time.
172//!
173//! ## Loading transitive dependencies
174//!
175//! Dealing with same-named-but-distinct crates is not just a local problem, but
176//! one that also needs to be dealt with for transitive dependencies. Note that
177//! in the letter above `--extern` flags only apply to the *local* set of
178//! dependencies, not the upstream transitive dependencies. Consider this
179//! dependency graph:
180//!
181//! ```text
182//! A.1   A.2
183//! |     |
184//! |     |
185//! B     C
186//!  \   /
187//!   \ /
188//!    D
189//! ```
190//!
191//! In this scenario, when we compile `D`, we need to be able to distinctly
192//! resolve `A.1` and `A.2`, but an `--extern` flag cannot apply to these
193//! transitive dependencies.
194//!
195//! Note that the key idea here is that `B` and `C` are both *already compiled*.
196//! That is, they have already resolved their dependencies. Due to unrelated
197//! technical reasons, when a library is compiled, it is only compatible with
198//! the *exact same* version of the upstream libraries it was compiled against.
199//! We use the "Strict Version Hash" to identify the exact copy of an upstream
200//! library.
201//!
202//! With this knowledge, we know that `B` and `C` will depend on `A` with
203//! different SVH values, so we crawl the normal `-L` paths looking for
204//! `liba*.rlib` and filter based on the contained SVH.
205//!
206//! In the end, this ends up not needing `--extern` to specify upstream
207//! transitive dependencies.
208//!
209//! # Wrapping up
210//!
211//! That's the general overview of loading crates in the compiler, but it's by
212//! no means all of the necessary details. Take a look at the rest of
213//! metadata::locator or metadata::creader for all the juicy details!
