Crashes with arm64-darwin

[ankane]

Hey @ianks,

Users are reporting crashes when loading the precompiled extension on arm64-darwin with two different projects, and was wondering if you've seen this in any of your projects or had any additional thoughts on how to debug.

• Tokenizers - Unable to run Rails when gem is installed ankane/tokenizers-ruby#10
• Polars - Terminal killed upon require polars-df ankane/ruby-polars#2

If not, no worries.

Looks like it was due to the strip option breaking code signing.

[profile.release]
strip = true

Ref: ankane/tokenizers-ruby#10 (comment)

Good find. We do not strip binaries at Shopify ATM, mostly because it breaks profilers (such as perf). So I disabled the stripping that RCD was doing by default in favor of allowing users to specify it in Cargo.toml. But given that strip = true in Cargo.toml is breaking things, would be nice to find a fix for that...

[ankane]

From what I can tell, the only way to fix is to re-sign (more info). I tried creating a wrapper for strip:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

/opt/osxcross/target/bin/aarch64-apple-darwin-strip $@
codesign -f -s - "${@: -1}"

However, the Docker images don't have the codesign binary. It might be possible to use an alternative like this, but haven't tried it.

I think ideally Rust would call codesign after strip (it calls it in another place), but it won't really help this situation.

Edit: Nevermind, think this is specific to the Docker images. Compiling for aarch64-apple-darwin on a x86_64-apple-darwin host doesn't have this issue.
