Description

Given the gcc/gas-specific aspect of this implementation and the default development kits on Apple Mac OSX being LLVM-based, do you think it would make sense to distribute a libhashtree.a with Mach-O files for the current x86_64 implementation and (hopefully) future ARM64 implementation?

If so, would it make sense to also distribute ELF/COFF object files at the same time? (The COFF maybe as a Windows .lib).

Research direction

Start by reviewing the current gcc/gas-specific x86_64 implementation and how it produces libhashtree.a. Compare the requested Mach-O, ELF, and COFF outputs, including the possible Windows .lib and future ARM64 targets. Done means deciding whether these binaries should be distributed and defining the supported formats and architectures.
