+ // Spectacularly evil linking hack due to Cargo shortcomings. In a nutshell,
+ // due to the inability for our .rlib crate to contribute linker arguments
+ // (or even just an rpath!) to our consumers, any resulting binaries will
+ // fail to run unless loaded into a process that already has the core loaded.
+ //
+ // For plugins this restriction is fine as they'll only be loaded by the core;
+ // headless binaries on the other hand (consider `cargo test`, too!) will fail
+ // because libbinaryninjacore is not in the library path on pretty much any
+ // system anywhere. If only we could trick the linker into linking with an
+ // absolute path...
+ //
+ // LOOK UPON MY WORKS, YE MIGHTY, AND DESPAIR
+ //
+ // We build a simple do-nothing library called liblinkhack and add it as a
+ // native dependency. Crucially, we ensure that LC_ID_DYLIB (macos) or DT_SONAME
+ // (linux) is set to the absolute path of libbinaryninjacore. This has the effect
+ // that any binary attempting to link with liblinkhack will have its dependency
+ // on liblinkhack recorded as the path to the binaryninja core. Later on, the
+ // actual core will get linked and that dependency will be recorded in the normal
+ // way.
+ //
+ // tl;dr we're linking against a fake, shim library that actually results in
+ // the binaryninja core getting linked twice, once with an absolute path and once
+ // correctly. yes, this is as horrifying as you think it is. no, there is no other
+ // way to make `cargo test` work.
+ //
+ // I'm not happy about it either.
