Each extension statically links protobuf, abseil and cel-cpp. On macOS, pybind_extension links with only -undefined dynamic_lookup, so those copies are exported, including thousands of weak definitions. dyld coalesces exported weak definitions across every loaded image, so importing cel_expr_python alongside another extension that ships protobuf (e.g. ortools) binds one runtime's code to the other's parse tables and crashes in AddDescriptors at import time.

Wrap pybind_extension to add -Wl,-exported_symbol,_PyInit_<name> on macOS, matching the isolation Linux already gets from -Wl,-Bsymbolic, and add a macOS test that each extension exports only its init function.

Fixes #115

Sorry, something went wrong.

Uh oh!

macOS wheels export bundled protobuf/abseil symbols → segfault on import alongside any other protobuf C++ (e.g. ortools)
