Looks like we applied the Foundation -> CoreFoundation patch. What about the Security framework? It's the source of the worst dependencies like Metal, CoreML, etc... ---------------------------------------- Feature #17730: Ruby on macOS transitively links to ~150 dylibs https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/17730#change-90996 * Author: rickmark (Rick Mark) * Status: Closed * Priority: Normal ---------------------------------------- By using `-framework Security` and `-framework Foundation` Ruby 3 pulls in about 150 dylibs when compiled for macOS By using CoreCrypto / CoreFoundation I was able to reduce this to ~50. This greatly reduces Ruby's surface area and dependencies on macOS. Further CoreFoundation is only used for one call in the entire codebase of `CFStringNormalize(m, kCFStringNormalizationFormC);` - if we can replace this, Ruby could work with only `libSystem` and `libgmp`. ---Files-------------------------------- ruby_deps_after.txt (2.24 KB) ruby_deps_before.txt (9.81 KB) 0001-Remove-unneeded-dependencies-on-macOS.patch (2.36 KB) -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
