pub use in a cdylib crate does not re-export unused pub extern "C" functions #97714

Description

@edgimar

Perhaps the issue description isn't exactly correct, but here's the gist:

Expected behavior: when a cdylib crate contains pub use foo; then any pub extern "C" functions within foo should be present in the generated dynamic library. This appears currently to not be the case.

To reproduce:

(using cargo 1.61.0 (a028ae4 2022-04-29) and rustc 1.61.0 (fe5b13d 2022-05-18) on Linux, using stable-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu toolchain)

Set up a folder-structure (with the shown file content) as follows:

mydylib
├── Cargo.lock
├── Cargo.toml
├── foo
│   ├── Cargo.toml
│   └── src
│       └── lib.rs
└── src
    └── lib.rs

------------------mydylib/Cargo.toml:
[package]
name = "mydylib"
version = "0.1.0"
edition = "2021"

# See more keys and their definitions at https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/manifest.html

[dependencies]
foo = { path = "foo" }

[lib]
crate-type = ["cdylib"]

------------------mydylib/foo/Cargo.toml:
[package]
name = "foo"
version = "0.1.0"
edition = "2021"

# See more keys and their definitions at https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/manifest.html

[dependencies]

[lib]
crate-type = ["rlib"]

------------------mydylib/src/lib.rs:
pub use foo;

#[no_mangle]
pub extern "C" fn hello() {
    println!("Hello World!");
}

------------------mydylib/foo/src/lib.rs:
#[no_mangle]
pub extern "C" fn wrapped_hello() {
    println!("Hello Wrapped World!");
}

Results:
