Stylistically I might recommend instead of a cps style to instead do something like:
- Emit only fatal errors here via
sess(it doesn't look like the error is ever "caught"?) - Return
Optioninstead ofResult - Instead do something like:
if let Some(ret) = locate_linker(&sess.opts) {
return Some(ret)
}
if let Some(ret) = locate_linker(&sess.target.target) {
return Some(ret)
}
sess.fatal("...")

I think this is losing the logic of locating link.exe on MSVC which may cause issues there?

The logic is in get_linker which is called with the values this function returns. I think that function will locate link.exe even with these changes.

I think this may have accidentally lost the logic of emcc.bat on Windows?

You can probably remove the intermediate closure here, I don't think it's serving much purpose any more

This runs the risk of being a breaking change by accident if someone's passing in a "flavorful" linker because currently we can't error today I think? Perhaps this could fall back to the target spec's linker flavor and if that's not present emit an error?

I believe, today, this is effectively unreachable because linker flavor is a mandatory field of target specifications. Should this be bug instead of fatal?

try to infer linker flavor from linker name and vice versa This is a second take on PR #50359 that implements the logic proposed in #50359 (review) With this change it would become possible to link `thumb*` binaries using GNU's LD on stable as `-C linker=arm-none-eabi-ld` would be enough to change both the linker and the linker flavor from their default values of `arm-none-eabi-gcc` and `gcc`. To link `thumb*` binaries using rustc's LLD on stable `-Z linker-flavor` would need to be stabilized as `-C linker=rust-lld -Z linker-flavor=ld.lld` are both required to change the linker and the linker flavor, but this PR doesn't propose that. We would probably need some sort of stability guarantee around `rust-lld`'s name and availability to make linking with rustc's LLD truly stable. With this change it would also be possible to link `thumb*` binaries using a system installed LLD on stable using the `-C linker=ld.lld` flag (provided that `ld.lld` is a symlink to the system installed LLD). r? @alexcrichton
