This version includes the windows api sets version of the universal
crt, fixes a few other functions when used with the universal crt,
and fixes the widl tool when running on macos.
If installing on top of a prebuilt win32 release of llvm instead of
building from source, the nm and strings executables are missing,
and MSYS2 errors out when creating a symlink to a file that doesn't
exist (since it does a copy instead of making an actual symlink).
This fixes an issue with code generation for functions that needed
a stack probe on armv7, improves llvm-rc and adds a few more options
to the mingw lld frontend.
This fixes building resource files that refer to external files
relative to the source directory, without specifying any directory
via include flags to windres itself. This is needed since llvm-rc
doesn't see the original source file but only sees the preprocessed
one in a temporary directory.
Alternatively, the preprocessed file could be placed in the same
directory as the source file, but when building e.g. outside of the
source tree, writing files (even temporary ones) inside the source
tree isn't generally expected.
This version improves llvm-rc to support more rc script features
and features built-in filtering of CPP output in llvm-rc. It also
improves the handling of some def features in llvm-dlltool, allows
producing codeview debug information when targeting mingw and adds
handling of a few more ARM64 relocations in lld.
This avoids needing the clang++ symlink. On platforms without symlinks
(i.e. windows), clang.exe and clang++.exe are two separate but identical
executables. This allows getting rid of the latter, saving size.
When building libcxx, this is also already enabled via the cmake
option -DLIBCXX_HAS_WIN32_THREAD_API=ON.
This fixes building libcxxabi if pthreads are available.
In this version, the binary actually is named clang-7 instead of
clang-7.0. This requires extending the test a little for keeping such
binaries but removing other clang-foo tools.
gcc/libssp's configure script runs checks for flags that clang doesn't
implement. We actually just need to set a few HAVE defines and compile
the .c sources, so just check out this subdirectory using svn and build
it using a custom makefile.
As long as we pass --sysroot explicitly in clang-target-wrapper.sh,
this isn't necessary. And since clang SVN r329946. it's no longer
necessary when not specifying the sysroot (and having it is in
fact harmful).
