BLOCK_EXPORT expands to 'extern' or 'extern "C"'.
NSConcrete* globals need to be exported for runtime integration (libobjc2 for example).

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Thanks for cleaning this up. Do you know where the code generation occurs for the newly added isa pointers?

@compnerd do you know when the change in LLVM was made? I would like to add it to the commit message. |

llvm/llvm-project#125384 is what added the static runtime support; llvm/llvm-project@442b88b added the original support for PE/COFF support in the Blocks CG. |

This looks pretty close to perfect. The only thing that is missing is just testing the build. |

The libobjc2 runtime supports integration with an external blocks runtime. For this to work, it needs access to the NSConcrete* globals. Some of them are already exported in the def file.
I have also removed an unused CMakeLists and fixed compilation on Windows.
