@AkihiroSuda Do you have any examples beyond Homebrew/homebrew-core#157617 for things that might need this? Thanks!

I don't know.

Bit of a weird one given shipping both a .tbd and a .dylib seems pointless - Apple ship .tbd to avoid shipping .dylib in their SDKs.

It's not wrong per se but instead rather meaningless.

It seems to be a new CMake feature. We could clean them like we do for .la files:

brew/Library/Homebrew/cleaner.rb

Line 7 in b72421e

# * removes `.la` files

brew/Library/Homebrew/cleaner.rb

Line 128 in b72421e

if path.extname == ".la" || PERL_BASENAMES.include?(path.basename.to_s)

This seems like a good idea until we have a use for them 👍🏻

I understand that *.tbd files are not expected to co-exist with *.dylib, but I fear that removing them may potentially break something that does not follow the standard

I'd rather report those to the relevant upstream project as a bug instead of preemptively working around them by always keeping the *.tbd files.

There's another formula where we go out of our way to remove them because they break the bottle.

Yeah it should be safe to treat them exactly as we do .la files.

For CMake, it happens if ENABLE_EXPORTS ON is set, but that also does other things like linkable executables so it's not quite as simple as turning it off (not that we can anyway without patching). wasmedge is not intentionally adding .tbd files as they did not exist prior to CMake 3.27 just a few months ago.

Thanks so much for your first contribution! Without people like you submitting PRs we couldn't run this project. You rock, @AkihiroSuda!
