COFF isn't supported properly yet?

cranelift-object should support COFF/PE

Carlo Kok (Apr 29 2020 at 12:37):

I got an error when using module::finish.

Carlo Kok (Apr 29 2020 at 12:37):

"Coff not supported" or something along those lines.

bjorn3 (Apr 29 2020 at 14:54):

Is there a backtrace? Or is it just a plain error and not a panic?

Sounds like you are using cranelift-faerie, which doesn't support COFF. Use cranelift-object instead, its COFF support hasn't been used much yet so it may have bugs (please report if you find any), but it should at least succeed at module::finish.

Carlo Kok (Apr 30 2020 at 05:05):

thanks! yes I was. Whats the difference between the two?

Carlo Kok (Apr 30 2020 at 05:21):

(Object works fine, at least it emits coff just fine)

Philip Craig (Apr 30 2020 at 06:19):

For cranelift users, the main difference is the COFF support. If you want to interact directly with the faerie or object APIs then the difference is that they operate at different abstraction levels (object tends to be lower level).
