strip symbols from static library on Linux #23

Closed jonpas closed 2 years ago

jonpas commented 2 years ago

Using the following in Cargo.toml:

strip = true  # or equivalent "symbols"

works fine on Windows, it strips the irrelevant symbols from Rust libraries and retains all RVExtension* ones.

On Linux however, it removes all symbols.

strip has 3 values:

On Windows "debuginfo" and "symbols" result in the same thing, but on Linux they are different, "symbols" removes everything.

I don't know if there is an attribute that can be set on those symbols to prevent stripping them on Linux, so I am opening this issue in case there is a known solution. Of course the obvious solution is to use "debuginfo", but that also doesn't get rid of everything it could have.

Disregard, the problem was caused by something completely different, this just partly fixed it, but is not the cause.
