# On windows when compiling with msvc we need to make postgres export all its
# symbols so that extension libraries can use them. For that we need to scan
# the constituting objects and generate a file specifying all the functions as
# exported (variables need an "import" declaration in the header, hence
# PGDLLEXPORT, but functions work without that, due to import libraries
# basically being trampolines).
#
# For dtrace probes we need to invoke dtrace on all input files, before
# linking the final executable (see more below).
#
#
# On meson there's currently no easy way to do this that I found. So we build
# a static library with all the input objects, run our script to generate
# exports, and build the final executable using that static library
#
# We could do that only if either dtrace or msvc is in use, but it seems
# easier to just always do so.
#
# Can't name the static library 'postgres', because msbuild ends up with a
# conflict for the .pdb file otherwise.

# file, but that's okay.)  However, macOS's dtrace doesn't use it and doesn't
# even recognize the -G option.  So, build probes.o except on macOS.
# This might need adjustment as other platforms add dtrace support.
#
# On at least linux we don't actually need to pass in all the objects, but
# at least on FreeBSD and Solaris we have to.

# so is not supported in older meson versions. Luckily we don't have probes in
