Can you make please make a PR? Happy to help with resolving differences in how symbols are handled.

Just realised that this is missing bitcode files (the primary use case for llvm-ar), is this something that you would like me to look at?

OK, I might be a tad more bullish about touching more of the code base to get features completed until then if I have the time this coming week. Hope...

Oh sorry, llvm IR basically (an encoding of it) https://llvm.org/docs/BitCodeFormat.html It’s an important use case so we will need to support it.

Cheers, let me know if you do get onto this becuase otherwise I might do. It also might be worth liasing with Jakub if you do so becuase the linker...

It should only be considered as a test case for parsing. It's a native archive, i.e. one generated by the native OS archived on Darwin. Not LLVM ar.

Are there any further changes desired here? Just double checking as I might have some time available to act on feedback this month if needed.

Just resolved the merge conflicts that I saw had cropped-up (hopefully :crossed_fingers:)
