Before LoadLibraryA on the project.dll, point Windows's loader at the
directory we already know holds the runtime DLLs the dll depends on
(libstdc++/libgcc/libwinpthread for mingw-host, c++.dll for msvc-host).
Lets a user run crafter-build.exe straight out of the release zip
without having to prepend C:\msys64\ucrt64\bin (or the libc++ bin
dir) to PATH first.

In-class inline methods on a module-exported class get the @<module>
linkage attachment, and clang does not emit their bodies into
consumers; the resulting external reference fails to resolve when a
project.dll on Windows tries to call ArgQuery::Has after consuming
ApplyStandardArgs's return value. Move the bodies to the implementation
unit and dllexport them.

cmd.exe treats single quotes as literal characters, so the existing
single-quote wrapping broke git/cmake invocations on a Windows host
("could not create leading directories of '<path>'").

Linux→mingw cross-compile now produces the same architectural shape as
build.cmd (DLL + import lib + launcher exe) instead of a single static
binary. The CI Windows artifact becomes a first-class drop-in: a user
on Windows can run crafter-build.exe against any project.cpp and have
it produce real Windows binaries — for either mingw or MSVC ABI.
What changed:
project.cpp: when target=mingw or target=msvc, crafter.build-lib is
built as LibraryDynamic instead of LibraryStatic so the link emits a
DLL + import lib (matching what build.cmd produces natively).
Crafter.Build-Clang.cpp Build():
- LibraryDynamic now branches per target — mingw emits <name>.dll +
lib<name>.dll.a via lld --out-implib; msvc emits <name>.dll +
<name>.lib via /IMPLIB; unix unchanged.
- expectedOutputFor returns .dll for Windows-target dynamic libs.
- Executable on Windows host now branches per target: mingw target
uses simple link (no -lc++/-nostdlib++/LIBCXX_DIR), msvc target keeps
the existing path. Both auto-copy LibraryDynamic dep DLLs + import
libs alongside the launcher exe (Windows resolves DLLs from the exe's
own directory at load time).
- Mingw-target Executables get -D CRAFTER_BUILD_DLL_IMPORT so
CRAFTER_API resolves to dllimport in their PCMs.
- mingw link adds -static-libstdc++ -static-libgcc -Wl,-Bstatic
-lpthread so produced .exe/.dll don't depend on a particular
libstdc++-6.dll / libwinpthread-1.dll being on the consumer's PATH
(avoids the Arch UCRT vs msys2 UCRT vs msys2 MSVCRT ABI rabbit hole).
Drops the old auto-copy of /usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/*.dll which
is now dead weight.
- -r flag resolves to an absolute path before std::system, otherwise
cmd.exe rejects "./bin/..." with "'.' is not recognized...".
Crafter.Build-Platform.cpp:
- Split the Windows-host block into shared shell helpers (#if MSVC ||
MINGW) plus separate #if MSVC and #if MINGW blocks for LoadProject /
EnsureCrafterBuildPcms / GetBaseCommand / BuildStdPcm.
- Mingw-host LoadProject compiles project.cpp with --target=mingw,
--sysroot=C:\msys64\ucrt64 (default; override with CRAFTER_MINGW_DIR),
-femulated-tls, -Wl,--export-all-symbols (mingw-lld doesn't accept
/EXPORT:NAME), and links against libcrafter-build.dll.a from the
launcher's directory.
- Mingw-host GetBaseCommand and BuildStdPcm dispatch on config.target
so a mingw-host crafter-build can also build msvc-target outputs
(uses LIBCXX_DIR + libc++ headers, same as native build.cmd) when
the user sets cfg.target = "x86_64-pc-windows-msvc".
README adds a Quick start (Windows) section covering both build paths
(native MSVC via build.cmd and the cross-compiled mingw artifact),
documenting the msys2 UCRT toolchain prerequisite.
Verified end-to-end on the winvm:
- mingw target: cross-compiled crafter-build.exe builds hello-world's
project.cpp, compiles main.cpp, links a hello.exe that runs without
any custom PATH (only Windows system DLLs needed).
- msvc target: same crafter-build.exe builds an MSVC-ABI hello.exe
linked against c++.dll (auto-copied from LIBCXX_DIR), runs cleanly.

WASI / wasm32 target support
- Auto-detect /usr/share/wasi-sysroot on Linux when target starts_with("wasm32")
- Skip -march/-mtune for wasm (clang rejects them)
- Apply -fno-exceptions -fno-c++-static-destructors -mllvm -wasm-enable-sjlj
-D_WASI_EMULATED_SIGNAL to wasm builds (compile + std PCM, kept in sync)
- .wasm output extension in expectedOutputFor and link command
- EnableWasiBrowserRuntime(cfg): opt-in helper that drops index.html +
runtime.js next to the .wasm; runtime.js reads window.CRAFTER_WASM_URL
set in the templated index.html so a single shim handles any output name
-r run flag in the CLI: build then exec the artifact (host targets only;
rejects libraries; auto .exe/.wasm extension handling)
CI pipeline (.forgejo/workflows/ci.yaml)
- Triggers: PR/push to master + manual dispatch
- Single arch-latest container job: install deps, bootstrap, self-rebuild,
run tests, cross-compile mingw, package both archives, upload artifacts
- Rolling 'latest' release published only on push/dispatch to master
mingw cross-compile from Linux now works end-to-end:
- ExternalDependency cache key includes target so per-target glslang builds
don't collide; CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release pinned (otherwise glslang appends
'd' to lib names and breaks linking); cross-compile cmake flags
(CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME=Windows, CMAKE_*_COMPILER_TARGET=...)
- project.cpp accepts --target=<triple>; Linux-only -Wl,--export-dynamic
and -ldl are gated; mingw glslang skips the standalone exe (its libgcc_eh
link pulls pthread which mingw doesn't link by default)
- mingw compile uses -femulated-tls so std::__once_callable etc reference
the same emutls symbols libstdc++ provides
- mingw link auto-adds -lstdc++exp -lpthread
GetCrafterBuildHome() exposed from the Platform module; LoadProject (Linux
+ Windows) now both use it instead of duplicating the resolution.
Examples reorg: hello-world, library, with-module, wasi, tests — each with
its own README. Tests reorg: per-test directory with inner/ fixture, no
shared tests/fixtures/ tree. New Wasi test verifies .wasm magic bytes.

- subprocess-isolated test runner (replaces V1 dlopen-RunTest);
Pass/Fail/Crash/Timeout/Skipped outcomes via :Test partition
- TestRunner abstraction with command templates: Local, Ssh,
SshWin (cmd.exe-shell), QemuUser, FromEnv; probe-based skip
when runner unreachable
- transitive PCM-path propagation in Build(); resolveImport
walks deps recursively; depResults cache keyed by PcmDir()
so per-target builds don't collide
- cfg.sysroot threaded through BuildStdPcm + base compile/link
command (enables aarch64 cross via Arch Linux ARM rootfs)
- lib + exe split: project.cpp defines crafterBuildLib
(LibraryStatic) + crafterBuildExe (Executable depending on
it); build.sh produces lib/libcrafter-build.a alongside
bin/crafter-build for downstream static-link consumers
- Windows DLL+launcher: CRAFTER_API macro, /EXPORT flag for
project.dll's CrafterBuildProject; Crafter::Run as the real
entry point with main.cpp as a thin wrapper
- 18 tests: HelloWorld/WithModule/Defines/CrossProjectModule/
Diamond × (Linux + sshwin:winvm), plus Incremental,
BuildError, Libraries, RunnerClassification, QemuUser,
SshRunner, WindowsViaSsh, CrossArchAarch64
- single ./bin/crafter-build test runs everything; Windows
variants skip gracefully if winvm SSH alias unreachable
