A few symbols within libclangInterpreter have got explicit dllexport attributes, in order to make them exported (and thus visible at runtime) in any build, not only when they are part of e.g. a DLL libclang-cpp, but also when they are part of a plain .exe.

Due to the explicit dllexports, these symbols would sidestep the regular MinGW logic of exporting all symbols if there are no dllexports. Therefore, for libclang-cpp, a separate fix was made in 592e935e115ffb451eb9b782376711dab6558fe0, to pass --export-all-symbols to the build of libclang-cpp.

If building with BUILD_SHARED_LIBS enabled, then the same issue appears in libclangInterpreter; pass the same flag --export-all-symbols there as well, to make sure all symbols are visible, not only the ones that are explicitly marked as dllexport.

Subject: [PATCH] [clang-repl] Fix BUILD_SHARED_LIBS symbols from
 libclangInterpreter on MinGW

A few symbols within libclangInterpreter have got explicit dllexport
attributes, in order to make them exported (and thus visible at
runtime) in any build, not only when they are part of e.g. a DLL
libclang-cpp, but also when they are part of a plain .exe.

Due to the explicit dllexports, these symbols would sidestep the
regular MinGW logic of exporting all symbols if there are no
dllexports. Therefore, for libclang-cpp, a separate fix was made
in 592e935e115ffb451eb9b782376711dab6558fe0, to pass
--export-all-symbols to the build of libclang-cpp.

If building with BUILD_SHARED_LIBS enabled, then the same issue
appears in libclangInterpreter; pass the same flag
--export-all-symbols there as well, to make sure all symbols are
visible, not only the ones that are explicitly marked as dllexport.
