Notable changes in this release:
- Implicitly add the .exe suffix, even when cross compiling (matching
a behaviour change in GCC since GCC 8)
- Enable the dynamicbase flag by default in LLD
- Implemented the -wrap option in LLD
- Optimized the generated unwind data for aarch64, reducing the size
of the unwind data by around 60%
- Error out of LLD if trying to create a DLL with too many exports
This is needed since 8bd2722f65cfd7883ed9769f7bad3ff50e4c6905
(and 8e11bede3a6ac11ebcc05c82fac39899feaf9534) in llvm-project
(past the 12.x release branch), which will allow us to get rid of the
whole arch renaming part (once we can assume we're building a version
newer than that).
The dockerfiles install both tools, and the scripts that use them
(build-make.sh and build-libssp.sh) can make do with either curl
or wget, but e.g. macOS ships with curl but not wget.
Printing '<triple>' causes the shell to try to read a file named
triple. One could either quote it, or just remove the angle brackets;
removing the brackets for simplicity.
Having less available should make debugging in the docker images a bit
more accessible.
Curl is a nice-to-have at the moment, while we also have wget available
from before.
This used to be the default before, but has changed in the
latest master version of libcxx.
Previously, both libcxx and libcxxabi enabled it by default, but
we used to explicitly disable it on the libcxxabi side (and rely
on the default for libcxx). Instead explicitly set the intended
configuration state for both parts.
LLVM's OpenMP implementation only supports Windows on x86, and it
requires a MASM-compatible assembler to build it. Build UASM
for this purpose, for now. (UASM isn't available packaged in
debian/ubuntu repos.) In the future, llvm-ml should be able
to handle it instead, but it's not currently mature enough.
Not including it in the regular build-all.sh for now, as UASM
isn't generally available.
Also flush after each printout, since not all configurations (in
particular, wine) flush stderr implicitly.
This is often useful when debugging unwinding.
Notable changes since LLVM 10.0.0:
- Enable -mms-bitfields by default (like GCC), don't produce errors
if the -mms-bitfields option is used together with non-trivial C++
classes
- Support for more linker flags in LLD (--disable-auto-import,
--disable-runtime-pseudo-reloc, --file-alignment, --section-alignment),
and fixed the handling of the --no-seh flag
- Clearly error out on unsupported relocation types in aarch64 assembly
- Proper support for __attribute__((weak))
- Minor improvements to details in llvm-rc
- Fixed a regression in LLD about exporting symbols containing periods ('.')
with a def file
If llvm is built with build-llvm.sh --full-llvm, we need to remove
this directory to end up with the same set of installed files as if
without --full-llvm, after stripping the install.
Our pinned version of mingw-w64 is new enough already, and
latest wine has implemented __C_specific_handler for aarch64,
so this makes the test be bypassed with current pinned clang (10.0.0)
and the soon to be released clang 11.0.0, but is executed with
clang 12.0.0 (where current versions has got this implemented properly).
