That's good to know, but looking at the dates of the two reviews still confuses me.

2016: https://reviews.llvm.org/D18826
2019: https://reviews.llvm.org/D16761#1441359

It doesn't help that we don't document supported platforms one way or the other in https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ClangPlugins.html.

Does your plugin work against a Clang built with `BUILD_SHARED_LIB=0`?
