native_link_modifiers_whole_archive

The tracking issue for this feature is: #81490

The native_link_modifiers_whole_archive feature allows you to use the whole-archive modifier.

Only compatible with the static linking kind. Using any other kind will result in a compiler error.

+whole-archive means that the static library is linked as a whole archive without throwing any object files away.

This modifier translates to --whole-archive for ld-like linkers, to /WHOLEARCHIVE for link.exe, and to -force_load for ld64. The modifier does nothing for linkers that don't support it.

The default for this modifier is -whole-archive.
