Clang's general default dwarf version was raised from 4 to 5 in
d3b26dea16108c427b19b5480c9edc76edf8f5b4 in llvm-project (Jan 23
2022) before the 14.0.0 branch, but dwarf 5 on Windows seems to not
work with either LLDB or GDB.
Thus force the default back to 4 here as a temporary workaround, and try
to set the default back to 4 for mingw targets in Clang for later
releases (https://reviews.llvm.org/D119326).
This makes warnings for other unused arguments visible to the user.
This requires a version of llvm-project past
50ec1306d060e46e0d53c9f5d8a052e1b0d10d3b (Jan 2022) which added these
new options.
Since df0ba47c36f6bd0865e3286853b76d37e037c2d7 in llvm-project
(November 5th 2021), clang built with mingw defaults to producing
paths with forward slashes - thus, this hack no longer is needed.
Since LLVM 13, llvm-dlltool can imply the target architecture from
a triple prefix on the tool name, so there's no more need for a
wrapper.
The *-dlltool tools are now symlinks to the main llvm-dlltool
executable. In the Windows distribution, the *-dlltool.exe used to be
copies of dlltool-wrapper.exe (which is small; 15 KB). Now they
will instead be copies of llvm-dlltool.exe. Luckily, thanks to
building with -DLLVM_LINK_LLVM_DYLIB=ON by default, llvm-dlltool.exe
is only a mere 65 KB, while it used to be much larger, e.g. around
11 MB in older releases.
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.
Passing -lucrt* to the clang driver inhibits the implicit default
-lmsvcrt, so this ends up only using libucrtapp.a instead of libucrt.a.
This still requires that the default crt was ucrt, as the prebuilt
libc++.a needs to have been built for the right crt.
Since clang 9.0.0 (34ec6929a1fb33716d0035dc0f1f164d7568b4dc
in llvm-project), it's no longer necessary to set this to be able
to use __cxa_thread_atexit (for TLS destructors). This brings the
behaviour closer to GCC, and reduces the amount of non-default
options used.
For build-mingw-w64.sh to succeed when installing to such a path,
the mingw-w64 version has to be updated to the latest git master.
build-mingw-w64-libraries.sh still fails in this case, as libtool
fails to properly quote $LD in a test for whether the linker is GNU ld.
This saves a lot of diskspace, when symlinks are turned into full
copies of the tools on windows, as the symlinks only point to a small
wrapper instead of to the full tool.
When adding the terminator without incrementing arg and checking for
overflows with "arg > max_arg", we need to allocate space for one
extra element for the implicit terminator.
This option seems to be used occasionally by projects to work around
various issues with popen in GNU windres.
Our windres wrapper always uses a temp file for the preprocessing
output, so for us the option is a no-op.
