I’m trying to write a compiler plugin (a MultiDecorator). It actually wen’t pretty well in the begining, I’ve managed to add some hello-world-kind-of AST. The problem is I need to link to part of the code (a ‘backend’ if you will) that is written in C++ with C interface provided. I’ve decided to split the whole thing into a backend shared library and the plugin dylib that links to the backend library and uses its C interface. The plugin compiles allright, but when I try to use it in a test project, rustc will crash trying to load it up (SIGILL somewhere in PluginLoader).
The backend shared object is symlinked to /usr/lib so I reckon it should be accessible, shouldn’t it? ldd seems to find it.
I’ve also tried comiling the backend statically and linking the plugin into one dylib, but rustc seems to be unable to link the C++ parts together (which doesn’t really surprise me).

Edit: Never mind, this was due to LLVM linkage problems. Sorry for the monologue
Hmm… I my case I got different kinds of crashes depending on the rustc release… I’m not sure but I think it was my fault in this case - that it’s not possible to have more LLVM instances in one process (think of all the llvm global init functions)…
