Missing stacktrace on Windows 11 x86_64 for Dynamic Libraries linked at runtime (DynSym) #20255
Description
Zig Version
0.13.0
Steps to Reproduce and Observed Behavior
When linking at runtime with std.DynLib, stacktrace can't find symbols from the .dll.
This used to work fine in 0.11.0, but stopped working on 0.12.0 and 0.13.0.
Here is a repro case (0.13.0) with 3 files [main.zig, my_lib.zig, build.zig]:
// src/main.zig
const std = @import("std");
const do_something = @import("my_lib").do_something;
pub fn main() !void {
// > Uncomment the following to see the correct expected stacktrace
// do_something();
var lib = try std.DynLib.open("./zig-out/bin/my_lib.dll");
const dynsym__do_something = lib.lookup(*const fn () void, "do_something") orelse return error.SymbolNotFound;
dynsym__do_something();
}// src/my_lib.zig
pub fn do_something() callconv(.C) void {
panic_function();
}
fn panic_function() void {
@panic("Time to dump the stacktrace");
}
comptime {
if (@import("root") == @This()) {
@export(do_something, .{ .name = "do_something", .linkage = .weak });
}
}// build.zig
const std = @import("std");
pub fn build(b: *std.Build) void {
const target = b.standardTargetOptions(.{});
const optimize = b.standardOptimizeOption(.{});
const exe = b.addExecutable(.{
.name = "missing-stacktrace-repro",
.root_source_file = b.path("src/main.zig"),
.target = target,
.optimize = optimize,
});
const my_lib: *std.Build.Step.Compile = b.addSharedLibrary(.{
.name = "my_lib",
.root_source_file = b.path("src/my_lib.zig"),
.target = target,
.optimize = optimize,
});
b.installArtifact(my_lib);
const my_lib_mod = b.addModule("my_lib", .{
.root_source_file = b.path("src/my_lib.zig"),
.imports = &.{},
});
exe.root_module.addImport("my_lib", my_lib_mod);
b.installArtifact(exe);
const run_cmd = b.addRunArtifact(exe);
run_cmd.step.dependOn(b.getInstallStep());
if (b.args) |args| {
run_cmd.addArgs(args);
}
const run_step = b.step("run", "Run the app");
run_step.dependOn(&run_cmd.step);
}Expected Behavior

run
└─ run stacktrace012 failureSorry if I'm missing something fundamental here, I'm not familiar with how stacktraces are generated in Zig, but I would expect the stacktrace to be present even when linking at runtime. Also it sounds like a regression to me as it used to work on Zig 0.11.0, but after updating to 0.12.0 it stopped working.
If the build.zig file is adapted, it's possible run the program and do the runtime linking in Zig 0.11.0 to confirm this used to work.
