Rust 1.79+ stdlib is unusable with MSVC when creating static libraries #129020
Closed
Description
Code
I tried to build librsvg using a simple meson setup build -Ddefault_library=both then meson compile -C build.
I expected to see this happen: linking success.
Instead, this happened: MSVC link returns LNK2005 and fails to /WHOLEARCHIVE the static library.
Version it worked on
It most recently worked on: 1.77.2
Version with regression
rustc --version --verbose:
rustc 1.79.0 (129f3b996 2024-06-10)
binary: rustc
commit-hash: 129f3b9964af4d4a709d1383930ade12dfe7c081
commit-date: 2024-06-10
host: x86_64-pc-windows-msvc
release: 1.79.0
LLVM version: 18.1.7
This is caused by both #121337 and #124019. When creating stdlibs, each MR causes the Rust compiler to add an export of __NULL_IMPORT_DESCRIPTOR; one comes from api-ms-win-core-synch-l1-2-0.dll and the other from bcryptprimitives.dll. This error will not be found until one consumes the Rust-generated library.
I am filing this report to consolidate the ones in rust-lang/cc-rs#1167 (comment) and mesonbuild/meson#13236 (comment).
