The code we use to interface with the platform dynamic linker is turning into a rat's nest of conditionals that's hard to maintain and extend. Since ELF, Mach-O, and PE platforms have pretty fundamentally different dynamic linker interfaces and capabilities, it makes sense to factor that code into a separate file per-platform, instead of trying to conditionalize the logic in-line. This patch factors out a much simpler portable interface for lazily kicking off the protocol conformance and type metadata lookup caches, and factors the guts out into separate MachO, ELF, and Win32 backends. This should also be a much cleaner interface to interface static binary behavior into, assisting #5349.
Always include all the sources as we cannot include object libraries to be
subsumed. This allows us to conditionally build the swift runtime for foreign
hosts simultaneously (e.g. cross compile for Linux and Windows simultaneously).
`WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN` prevents "rarely-used" headers from being pulled in. This
significantly reduced preprocessor pressure, speeding up compile. It also
reduces the amount of cruft pulled in by the Windows.h.
`NOMINMAX` ensures that the `min` and `max` macros are not defined. These
macros collide with the use of `min` and `max` from C++ in certain cases: e.g.
`std::limits<T>`.
This patch is for libswiftCore.lib, linking with the library set of Visual Studio 2015. Clang with the option -fms-extension is used to build this port.
This is the approved subpatch of a large patch.
In PE-COFF formatted file, the offset of NT header can be greater than 0xFF. MS library defines it as LONG (32bit signed integer) in struct _IMAGE_DOS_HEADER.
