Subject: [PATCH 04/11] rust: Do not link qemuutil into Rust rlibs
Date: Mon, 15 Dec 2025 08:49:53 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251215075000.335043-5-pbonzini@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251215075000.335043-1-pbonzini@redhat.com>
From: Martin Kletzander <mkletzan@redhat.com>
Commit de037ab8d83d removed qemuutil dependency from chardev and util
rust crates. However it stayed in the _util_rs static library. The
dependency is also defined as `link_with`, which is fine for C targets,
where the resulting archive gets linked as another parameter on the
command line when it is a static library.
However, when a C library is linked into a Rust rlib, rustc remembers
the dependency into the metadata and adds the library to the linker
command line.
Unfortunately, static libraries are sensitive to their
position on the command line and rustc does not always get it right.
Fortunately, simply removing it from dependencies of any rust libraries
and instead adding them into the dependencies of executables and
doctests fixes the behaviour.
Without this patch the error I get is:

Meson could work around it itself by never adding these static libraries
to the rlibs (after all, Meson tracks the transitive dependencies already
and knows how to add them to dependents of those rlibs); at least for now,
do it in QEMU: never link C libraries into Rust rlibs, and add them to the
final build products only.
