Description
datafusionthat uses a technique frombevyengine to add dynamic linking option as a crate featuredatafusion-dynamicis a default feature inkamu-cliand through workspace feature unification it enables dynamic linking in all testsdevbuild size impact:How it works
In the fork:
datafusionbecomes a facade library that links:datafusion-core- the main gutsdatafusion-dylibdatafusion-dylibis a dynamic crate that also links the entiredatafusion-coredatafusion-dylibis linked - the linker sees two sets of same symbols (one from a static and one from dynamic lib) and it automatically prefers the dynamic libDownsides
Ideally we would some day upstream this into
datafusionand the hacky stuff will go away.
