Aarch64 support
As a modern mac user, I would like slinc to support AArch64.
This story is complete when sprintf works on aarch64 machines.
As a note, I just bumped into this now, whilst taking my experiment home. It looks like this is expected behaviour for the time being.
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error: No library file found for AArch64 Darwin with path like /Users/simon/Code/PackageCompiler.jl/examples/MyLibCompiled/lib/libjulia.dylib
at fr.hammons.slinc.modules.LinkageTools$.$anonfun$7(LinkageTools.scala:108)
Happy to guinea pig something if that's helpful? My "real" use case is on Windows however....
I will put this in the product backlog, but it's a bit of a difficult issue for me as I have no M1 to test on. I'll look into having a runner for the CI on AWS, but that's real low priority for me as there's more pressing issues to work on.
One note, even for mac I'm using .so instead of .dylib. I'm guessing this should change based on you use-case.
If you do not provide an absolute file name (file ending with .so or .dll), Slinc will use the base file name provided along with the appropriate library suffix for the OS and a tag based on the architecture. https://slinc.hammons.fr/docs/docs/reference/library-modules.html#
Can we regard file ending with .dylib as absolute file name too?
This is just an idea, but I think it would be nice to be able to specify a file name without conversion. I mean something like the following example.
@NeedsFile("build/name") // => converted into /path/to/name_{suffix}.so, path/to/name_{suffix}.dll
@NeedsFile("`build/name`") //=> path/to/name
