This type was moved here because it is needed for the link attribute and the original location caused a dependency cycle

This test is not testing for the invalid attribute, but instead for the link attribute on an extern type. Because attributes are parsed earlier and this attribute was invalid the error blocked the crash from happening. This is true for quite a few other of the test changes as well

I noted when testing today that this test as of 7db1840 is now fixed on aarch64-apple-darwin. It continues to be fixed on latest master.

ChrisDenton · 2025-08-26T08:16:11Z

Would it be possible to change the test to a check-pass and set the target instead of only running on x86 windows host?

JonathanBrouwer · 2025-08-26T08:27:32Z

Hmmm that seems reasonable for at least this specific test. There's actually a bunch of windows only tests for link, I'll see how many I can convert

ChrisDenton · 2025-08-26T08:34:35Z

I quickly tried this. Here's what I came up with:

//@ add-core-stubs
//@ check-pass
//@ compile-flags: --target i686-pc-windows-msvc
// maybe also test i686-pc-windows-gnu?
#![feature(no_core, rustc_attrs, lang_items)]
#![no_core]
#![crate_type = "lib"]

#[link(name = "foo", kind = "raw-dylib", import_name_type = 6)]
//~^ ERROR import name type must be of the form `import_name_type = "string"`
extern "C" {}

Unfortunately no_core is needed because otherwise it complains about not having std available.

JonathanBrouwer · 2025-08-26T13:32:06Z

@ChrisDenton I followed your trick (thanks a lot!) and I think I have all tests working now, but I didn't verify on a windows VM since after an hour of trying to get it working I still can't build the rust project using it, no clue why, getting weird errors and everything is super slow for some reason
