allow compiletest to pass down --extern flags #54020

When cargo exposes a crate to rustc, it uses --extern, with the potential for crate name aliasing. This PR adds this support to compiletest via a aux-crate:foo=baz.rs header, where it exposes the crate baz under a foo alias.

This is specially useful for testing the new Rust 2018 edition module behaviors, since crates listed via --extern appear in the prelude.

Additionally, this also adds some tests to the existing compiletest parsing code.

Fixes #53737

woah tests. Totally not idiomatic for compiletest. 😛

Can we port the extern prelude test to use this?

What about your existing tests for suggestions?

after some fiddling I've learned more about some implied things for --extern calls. I've pushed something that works for linux at least and now I'm trying to find a cross-platform way of fixing this (and potentially less ugly too) 🙃

@nikomatsakis is there a standard call for doing naming normalization (like the ones that make the output for a some-crate.rs file that emits a rlib to be called libsome_crate.so)?

@alexcrichton is there a place on the compiler where I can get the official codepath that does this in a cross-platform way?

I think this can probably use std::env::consts::DLL_EXTENSION perhaps? We typically don't need to factor in cross compilation here

bors added a commit that referenced this pull request Dec 9, 2019
Add options to --extern flag.

This changes the `--extern` flag so that it can take a series of options that changes its behavior. The general syntax is `[opts ':'] name ['=' path]` where `opts` is a comma separated list of options. Two options are supported, `priv` which replaces `--extern-private` and `noprelude` which avoids adding the crate to the extern prelude.

```text
--extern priv:mylib=/path/to/libmylib.rlib
--extern noprelude:alloc=/path/to/liballoc.rlib
```

`noprelude` is to be used by Cargo's build-std feature in order to use `--extern` to reference standard library crates.

This also includes a second commit which adds the `aux-crate` directive to compiletest. I can split this off into a separate PR if desired, but it helps with defining these kinds of tests. It is based on #54020, and can be used in the future to replace and simplify some of the Makefile tests.
