What goes here
|
||
|
--------------
|
||
|
|
||
|
These are CMake modules to be shared between LLVM projects strictly at build
|
||
|
time. In other words, they must not be included from an installed CMake module,
|
||
|
such as the ``Add*.cmake`` ones. Modules that are reachable from installed
|
||
|
modules should instead go in ``${project}/cmake/modules`` of the most upstream
|
||
|
project that uses them.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The advantage of not putting these modules in an existing location like
|
||
|
``llvm/cmake/modules`` is two-fold:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Since they are not installed, we don't have to worry about any out-of-tree
|
||
|
downstream usage, and thus there is no need for stability.
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Since they are available as part of the source at build-time, we don't have
|
||
|
to do the usual stand-alone vs combined-build dances, avoiding much
|
||
|
complexity.
|
||
|
|
||
|
How to use
|
||
|
----------
|
||
|
|
||
|
For tools, please do:
|
||
|
|
||
|
.. code-block:: cmake
|
||
|
|
||
|
if(NOT DEFINED LLVM_COMMON_CMAKE_UTILS)
|
||
|
set(LLVM_COMMON_CMAKE_UTILS ${LLVM_COMMON_CMAKE_UTILS}/../cmake)
|
||
|
endif()
|
||
|
|
||
|
# Add path for custom modules.
|
||
|
list(INSERT CMAKE_MODULE_PATH 0
|
||
|
# project-specific module dirs first
|
||
|
"${LLVM_COMMON_CMAKE_UTILS}/Modules"
|
||
|
)
|
||
|
|
||
|
Notes:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- The ``if(NOT DEFINED ...)`` guard is there because in combined builds, LLVM
|
||
|
will set this variable. This is useful for legacy builds where projects are
|
||
|
found in ``llvm/tools`` instead.
|
||
|
|
||
|
- ``INSERT ... 0`` ensures these new entries are prepended to the front of the
|
||
|
module path, so nothing might shadow them by mistake.
|
||
|
|
||
|
For runtime libs, we skip the ``if(NOT DEFINED`` part:
|
||
|
|
||
|
.. code-block:: cmake
|
||
|
|
||
|
set(LLVM_COMMON_CMAKE_UTILS ${LLVM_COMMON_CMAKE_UTILS}/../cmake)
|
||
|
|
||
|
... # same as before
|
||
|
|
||
|
If ``llvm/tools`` legacy-style combined builds are deprecated, we should then
|
||
|
skip it everywhere, bringing the tools and runtimes boilerplate back in line.
